The singles competition for the men and women at the 2025 US Open is underway as the best players in the world converge on Flushing, New York, for the final grand slam of the season.
On the men’s side, it is once again expected to come down to No. 1 seed Jannik Sinner and No. 2 seed Carlos Alcaraz, as they have faced off in the last two grand slam finals and split them, with Alcaraz winning the French Open and Sinner winning Wimbledon.
Both men easily handled their business in the opening round with straight set victories. Sinner now faces Alexei Popyrin in the second round while Alcaraz gets Mattia Belluci. Novak Djokovic, who is hunting for his 25th career grand slam title, has started strong as the No. 7 seed. He takes on American Zachary Svajda in his next match.

The first major upset of the tournament happened on Monday on the women’s side when reigning Australian Open champion and No. 6 seed Madison Keys went down in three sets against unheralded upstart Renata Zarazua of Mexico. It was a wild battle that saw Keys commit an astounding 89 unforced errors. There was nearly a second massive upset on Tuesday, but No. 3 seed Coco Gauff was able to prevail in three sets despite a huge challenge from Ajla Tomljanovic of Australia.
