Tournament Dates & Format
The 145th US Open tournament will take place from Sunday, August 24 to Sunday, September 7, 2025. The tournament will take place at New York’s Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. For the first time, there will be mixed doubles played before the singles tournament. Mixed doubles will be played in the two days prior to the main tournament on August 19-20.
Top Contenders and Seedings
Men’s Field: Jannik Sinner returns as the defending champion and the top seed. He will have plenty of competition in Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev, and others.
Women’s Field: Aryna Sabalenka will return as the defending champion and the No. 1 seed. Other top contenders, who have recently won Grand Slam events, include Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek, and Madison Keys.
Prize Money and Innovation
This year, the total prize pool is a new record of $90 million, with singles champions getting $5 million each, and last year’s purse and payouts in 2023 were way lower.
