Who will take home the trophies at Flushing Meadows?

The 2025 US Open is set to take place between August 24 and September 7, 2025. It will be the 145th edition of the premier American tennis event – set to be played on the outdoor hard courts of the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York. After a successful Mixed Doubles Championship during the Fan Week, the singles and doubles competitors are set to steal the show.

Respective World No. 1s Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka will headline the draw as the defending champions in 2025. Both players are set to defend their top ranking at Flushing Meadows, with the likes of Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek hunting them down. Australian pairing of Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson won the men’s doubles titles last year. Meanwhile, former Roland Garros singles champion Jelena Ostapenko partnered Lyudmyla Kichenok to take home the women’s doubles crown.

While Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori have already won the US Open Mixed Doubles Championship to retain their trophies, here’s all you need to know about the two weeks of tennis paradise:
