While qualifying took center stage Wednesday, much of the focus on this year's tournament will be on Djokovic's quest for history.

A victory would make him just the second player of the Open Era on the men's side to win a Grand Slam in New York after Rod Laver last did so in 1969. It would also move Djokovic past Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal on the all-time list with 21 major championships and give his fans another talking point in debates about who is history's greatest tennis player.

He won Wimbledon this year by defeating Matteo Berrettini, won the French Open by notably getting past Nadal in the semifinals and Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final, and captured the Australian Open with a win over Daniil Medvedev.

This year hasn't been all good news for the 34-year-old, though, as he is coming off a disappointing showing at the Tokyo Olympics. He lost in the semifinals to Alexander Zverev and then dropped the bronze-medal match to Pablo Carreno Busta.

Djokovic is also looking to put last year's U.S. Open in the rearview mirror.

He infamously defaulted when he struck a line judge with a ball. He hit the ball in frustration after dropping serve, and it hit the line judge. Rules officials deemed it a disqualification regardless of his overall intent.

A championship and a calendar Grand Slam would go a long way toward helping fans forget about that incident.
