i know how usta makes draws but people have gotten in trouble for tinkering
azarenka vs the Ukrainian after recent comments
osaka vs collins who she was undefeated against
venus vs a scrub
keys to meet gauff
serena away from swiatek
nadal lined up with fognini and gasquet
fokina fucsovics
murray cup cake start and with tini who has had limited match play
americans paul and korda with weak ass ruud
brooksby alcaraz
tiafoe easy draw
all have a lot of motives and are very convenient. that said that is really tinfoil and with a draw this big there are bound to be juicy matchups and matchups that are convenient for ratings and profit. on the other hand, if they used the ServeTennis program to create the randomized draw then moved around a player here and there i wouldnt be surprised. L3 L2 L1 junior tournaments are run differently than L4 and below so id imagine the us open, which basically funds the usta, would be subject to changes
