The singles competition for the men and women at the 2025 US Open is underway as the best players in the world converge on Flushing, New York, for the final grand slam of the season.
On the men’s side, it is once again expected to come down to No. 1 seed Jannik Sinner and No. 2 seed Carlos Alcaraz , as they have faced off in the last two grand slam finals and split them, with Alcaraz winning the French Open and Sinner winning Wimbledon.
Sinner is the defending champion, as he defeated American Taylor Fritz in straight sets in the 2024 final, and has been dominant all season — with the exception of some finals against Alcaraz. Their most recent meeting was an Alcaraz win in a walkover in the Cincinnati Masters final, as Sinner withdrew while battling an illness.

On the women’s side, No. 2 seed Iga Swiatek edged out defending US Open champ and No. 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka as the pre-tournament favorite as the Polish star is coming off of one of the most dominant grand slam final performances in history at Wimbledon.
No. 3 seed Coco Gauff is the leading American woman in the field, as she looks to capture her second US Open title after winning in 2023. No. 4 seed Jessica Pegula, No. 6 seed Madison Keys, No. 8 seed Amanda Anisimova and No. 10 seed Emma Navarro all represent the other top American hopes, as US women make up half of the top 10 in the draw.
