US Open 2025 live stream: preview
Despite pulling out of the Cincinnati Open final through illness, Sinner arrives in New York as the firm favourite. The Italian cruised past home hope Taylor Fritz in last year’s final and has been virtually untouchable on hard courts in the last two years. Having already triumphed in Australia and at Wimbledon, he’ll be confident of securing his third major of the year.
On the other side of the draw is another potential champion in Carlos Alcaraz. The Spaniard won the title in 2022 and will be out for revenge for his Wimbledon final defeat. Other title contenders include four-time US Open champion Novak Djokovic, rising British star Jack Draper and third seed Alexander Zverev, while home hopes rest on Fritz, Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe.
On the women’s side of the draw, defending champion Sabalenka has yet to win a Slam this year and was brushed aside by Elena Rybakina at the Cincinnati Open. She’ll need to be at her very best to add to her title haul in New York but can expect a stern test against a host of title contenders.
Six-time major winner Iga Świątek is the in-form player on tour having triumphed at Wimbledon and in Cincinnati, while Roland-Garros champion Coco Gauff returns to the site of her first major triumph back in 2023. She’ll lead the American charge alongside Australian Open winner Madison Keys, fourth seed Jessica Pegula and Wimbledon finalist Amanda Anisimova.
