2025 US Open schedule – Full draw breakdown
The 2025 US Open men’s singles draw is fully set, with defending champion Jannik Sinner as the No. 1 seed opening his title defense against Vit Kopřiva. A potential path to the final could see him face Jack Draper in the quarterfinals, Alexander Zverev in the semis, and possibly Carlos Alcaraz in the championship match.
Alcaraz, slotted in the bottom half of the bracket, starts his campaign against Reilly Opelka. He may encounter players like Ben Shelton, Taylor Fritz, or Novak Djokovic en route to the later rounds.
On the women’s side, top seed Aryna Sabalenka opens against Rebeka Masarova with a potentially difficult path, including Jasmine Paolini, Jessica Pegula, and a semifinals showdown with Iga Świątek. Swiatek, the second seed, begins against Emiliana Arango and may face Amanda Anisimova in the quarterfinals.
Also, other notable matchups include wildcard entrant Venus Williams taking on Karolína Muchová, and rising star Victoria Mboko facing two-time Grand Slam champion Barbora Krejčíková. If you can’t make it to Queens, here’s how to watch the US Open live on TV and streaming.
American stars to watch at Flushing Meadows
Several U.S. players are ready to make an impact at Flushing Meadows. On the men’s side, Ben Shelton, ranked world No. 6 and winner of the 2025 Canadian Open, brings momentum and home-court advantage to the tournament.
Taylor Fritz, the 2024 runner-up, and Frances Tiafoe, a recent semifinalist, also join a deep American contingent. Rising talents Alex Michelsen, Learner Tien, and Brandon Nakashima round out the draw. Each brings breakout potential from within the U.S. ranks.
On the women’s side, 2025 Australian Open champion Madison Keys and Jessica Pegula, last year’s U.S. Open finalist, represent America’s best hopes. Also, adding to the drama, Venus Williams, at age 45, returns to the singles draw via wildcard, continuing her record-setting journey in New York.
Why the 2025 US Open matters
The extended 15-day schedule gives fans more flexibility and more matches to attend, while players benefit from better rest between rounds. It also means over 70,000 more tickets are available compared to past editions.
With stars like Jannik Sinner, Aryna Sabalenka, Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Swiatek, and Coco Gauff all expected to compete, this year’s tournament is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in recent memory.
