Daniil Medvedev, the No. 7 seed and 2021 US Open champion, opened his 2026 campaign with a first-round win over France's Hugo Gaston on August 30, 2026, at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The match drew attention beyond the scoreline: Medvedev left 12 pieces of chewed gum lined up courtside during the contest, an unusual detail that circulated widely afterward. The victory advanced Medvedev into the second round of the daniil medvedev men's us open bracket, where the Russian said he remained focused on progressing rather than looking too far ahead.

The tournament outlook shifted before play began when Jannik Sinner missed the event, leaving the men's draw more open than in prior years. No. 11 seed Frances Tiafoe cautioned that contenders "still gotta beat seven guys," and Medvedev echoed the measured view, noting the field still contained players who "go deep every tournament." Medvedev's own lead-in form had been uneven, with a reported 0-3 collapse ahead of the tournament that pressured his standing among seeded names. Market pricing placed the daniil medvedev men's us open outcome near 2.5 percent after the draw, one of the closer alignments between analysts and pricing among the seeds. [Tempo, Aug 31]
Medvedev's path could intersect with Novak Djokovic, listed at +700 by DraftKings, as a potential quarterfinal opponent, with Djokovic having reached at least the semifinals in 14 of his past 16 Grand Slams. During media day, Medvedev declined to back himself, instead predicting Alexander Zverev to capture a first US Open title in 2026, while Stefanos Tsitsipas offered his own pick. Zverev, returning from an April wrist injury sustained at the Barcelona Open, remains among the names cited as the draw reshapes. For Medvedev, the immediate focus is navigating the early rounds before any deeper contender questions apply. [Tennishead, Aug 27]
