A former finalist at the event, Zverev would have been the No. 2 seed in the event if he had been fit for the showing at Flushing Meadows. The World No. 2 had hinted in the lead-up to the Grand Slam that he would try his best to get himself ready in time for the New York Major. However, the German decided not to risk his ankle and health without proper preparation. His place in the main draw has now been taken up by American Stefan Kozlov and Nadal will take up the honor of being the second seed.

While a player pulling out of a Grand Slam, especially someone as highly rated as Alexander Zverev, would have usually been mourned, users on Twitter were unusually ecstatic in this particular case. One fan remarked that the news of the World No. 2 pulling out made them happy even though it was a Monday.

Having reached the semifinals in New York last year, the German was defending 720 points in the event. He will, therefore, have 5040 points to his name at the end of the tournament, which is significantly less than what current World No. 3 Rafael Nadal will have even with a first-round exit from Flushing Meadows. There is a good likelihood that the German might even slip out of the top-5 if others like Stefanos Tsitsipas, Daniil Medvedev, Carlos Alcaraz and Casper Ruud get a string of favorable results. Meanwhile, the World No. 2 is part of Germany's line-up for the Davis Cup matches scheduled to take place in September, which is where he is assumed to be back in action.
