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. In the second round, Alcaraz cruised through Mattia Belluci in straight sets to reach the third round, while Sinner will face Alexei Popyrin later on Thursday. Novak Djokovic, who is hunting for his 25th career grand slam title, has started strong as the No. 7 seed. He did drop his first set to American Zachary Svajda in his second round match, but settled in and ripped off the next three sets in succession to reach the third round yet again.

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.
