Tournament Preview

In the men's draw, Alexander Zverev enters as the top seed, with world No. 1 Jannik Sinner absent due to injury.

Reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz aims to become only the second man this century, after Roger Federer, to defend his US Open title.

Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic continues his pursuit of a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title.

Elsewhere, Ben Shelton, Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, and Tommy Paul are all hoping to become the first American man to win a major since Andy Roddick at the 2003 US Open.

With both Alcaraz and Djokovic having had limited hard-court play this summer, the tournament draw could open up opportunities for other contenders.

In the women's draw, Aryna Sabalenka is aiming to become just the third woman in the Open Era (since 1968) to win three consecutive US Open titles.

Keep an eye on Coco Gauff, who arrives in New York with momentum after winning the Cincinnati Open, dropping just one set throughout the tournament.

Other top contenders include Jessica Pegula, Iga Swiatek, Naomi Osaka, and Elena Rybakina.

Like the men's competition, the women's draw feels especially open this year, as Sabalenka has struggled in the lead-up to the US Open.
