Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to win the 2025 US Open title, according to the Sky Sports Tennis presenters and analysts, while it is a lot closer in terms of the predictions for the women\u2019s title winner.<\/p>\n
The Italian, the defending champion at Flushing Meadows after he beat Taylor Fritz in straight sets in the 2024 final, will be the No 1 seed at this year\u2019s event as he has been top of the ATP Rankings since June last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sinner<\/a> has won 21 consecutive hard-court Grand Slam matches as he won the 2024 Australian Open, 2024 US Open and 2025 Australian Open with his last defeat a fourth-round loss to Alexander Zverev at the 2023 US Open.<\/p>\n Besides his three hard-court majors, Sinner also won this year\u2019s Wimbledon trophy after beating Carlos Alcaraz in four sets at the grass-court event in July.<\/p>\n Sinner and Alcaraz are no doubt well ahead of the chasing pack<\/a> ahead of the season-ending Grand Slam as they have shared the last seven major titles between with the latter lifting two French Open trophies the past two years and the 2024 Wimbledon crown.<\/p>\n Alcaraz also has one hard-court Slam to his name as he won the 2022 US Open while he will head into the 2025 US Open on the back of winning the Cincinnati Open title.<\/p>\n Despite Alcaraz\u2019s good form, the Sky pundits feel he won\u2019t win the 2025 with Sinner getting seven out of seven votes from Martina Navratilova, Colin Fleming, Annabel Croft, Naomi Cavaday, Marion Bartoli, Jonathan Overend and Gigi Salmon with 24-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic<\/a> not even getting a mention.<\/p>\n Tennis great Navratilova said in the prediction preview: \u201cJannik Sinner plays his best on the hardcourt and after his win at Wimbledon I think he will be so confident. It will be hard for anyone to beat him.\u201d<\/p>\n Fellow Grand Slam winner Bartoli stated: \u201cSinner won on grass and was one point away from winning the French Open which are both by far the most challenging surfaces for him. He is going to steamroll on hard!\u201d<\/p>\n US Open News<\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz set to be beaten, Emma Raducanu shines, Iga Swiatek storms back \u2013 early US Open predictions<\/a><\/p>\n 2025 US Open men\u2019s singles seeds: Sinner and Alcaraz top 2, Djokovic 7th<\/a><\/p>\n Meanwhile, Overend said: \u201cIt\u2019s so hard to go against Sinner. The Wimbledon final was quite revealing in a way because they had that classic at the French Open but I think it\u2019s easy to forget how Sinner should have won that match at Roland-Garros against Carlos Alcaraz.\u201d<\/p>\n Three out of the four went with Sabalenka to win the women\u2019s title<\/a> while reigning Wimbledon winner and 2022 US Open winner Swiatek received two votes with Elena Rybakina and Naomi Osaka also getting mentions.<\/p>\n
