Key Storylines
- Sincaraz Rivalry Renewed
Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have monopolized the last seven Grand Slam titles, a streak only eclipsed by legends like Federer-Nadal. Sinner aims to become the first man to defend the US Open crown since Federer (2004–08), while Alcaraz chases both the trophy and the world No. 1 ranking in New York. - America’s Best Hope
No American has lifted the men’s title since Andy Roddick in 2003. Young guns Ben Shelton (18/1) and Taylor Fritz (30/1) have built momentum with deep runs at the National Bank Open, and Novak Djokovic (14/1) looms as a dark-horse threat in the odds boards. - Sabalenka’s Supremacy on the Line
World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka seeks her first major of the year against fierce rivals Iga Świątek—fresh off a dominant Wimbledon—or home-favorite Coco Gauff (7/1 odds), with half the WTA top 10 seeded players hailing from the U.S. in the draw. - Mixed Doubles Gets a Makeover
For the first time, a rapid-fire mixed doubles showcase takes place during Fan Week (August 19–20), featuring sets to four games, no-ad scoring and 4-4 tiebreakers—a preview of the main event’s playoff flair.
