Carlos Alcaraz, The Defending Champ
Alcaraz walks back into Flushing Meadows as the reigning champion, fresh off a Grand Slam win at the Australian Open… but a wrist injury and some time away from the tour have left a question mark over his form heading into the US Open.
Djokovic Wants History, and Everyone Else Wants In
Novak Djokovic is chasing a record 25th major title, and another win would add yet another chapter to one of the greatest careers the sport has ever seen. Meanwhile, Alexander Zverev is desperate to finally turn his Grand Slam consistency into a major championship.
And for the Americans, home favourite Taylor Fritz brings an ideal game for New York: a huge serve, aggressive forehand and the ability to thrive on hard courts.
The Women’s Draw is Anyone’s Game
The women’s field is stacked and wide open. Aryna Sabalenka enters as world No. 1 and the player to beat, but she won’t have it easy. Iga Swiatek looks to be rediscovering her best form at just the right time, and Elena Rybakina has emerged as a serious threat to the established order after she claimed the 2026 Australian Open.
American stars Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff will also be ones to watch, with Gauff no stranger to winning the US Open back in 2023.
Double the Action at the Mixed Doubles
Beyond the singles, the 2026 mixed doubles championship has pulled together a star-studded lineup, adding twice the drama to the 2026 US Open.
Kiwis Representing at the US Open
Erin Routliffe is back as a two-time US Open Women’s doubles champion, competing in both the women’s doubles main draw and the mixed doubles alongside Britain’s Lloyd Glasspool.
