While much of the attention surrounding style at the U.S. Open centers on the celebrity attendees, the players themselves have continuously stepped up their fashion game. And though Jannik Sinner and his Gucci duffle are not at the final Grand Slam of the year, other players are taking up the luxury accessories mantle.
Increasingly, more and more fashion brands are turning their attention to the sport. “When you look at tennis, it’s a non-contact sport. You’re looking at the players from two to five hours. Generally, things remain unruffled and not dirty—unless they’re rolling around in the clay,” Sunita Kumar Nair, author of ACE: The Times & Style of Tennis, told T&C. “There’s a huge opportunity for brands to enable the athletes and not only benefit from the star element that these athletes engenders, but also the athletes also benefit because they get to portray who they are on court. It’ll be more and more of a stage as time goes on.”
Here, 15 of the best dressed athletes at the 2026 U.S. Open—and how to replicate their style off the court.

The former U.S. Open champion debuted a butter yellow New Balance dress during round two of the tournament. (She also has the outfit in navy.) “The silhouette makes me feel confident, and I love how it celebrates the city’s fashion legacy,” she said in a statement before the Open kicked off.
She is also wearing custom Jennifer Fisher jewelry, including a sapphire-blue “C” pendant.

“I respect Naomi as an athlete and as a person—she represents so much of what I am inspired by: excellence, focus, quiet power, intensity, intelligence; most importantly, true individuality; and she simply brings her own style and fashion to life and to the tennis court,” Browne told Vogue.
