Who are the other men's contenders to look out for at the US Open?
The 2025 US Open men's singles field features several promising contenders. French player Arthur Fils, who secured his first ATP Masters 1000 title at the Cincinnati Open last week, is one to watch. The 22-year-old has made a strong comeback from a lower-back injury, reaching the quarter-finals of eight tournaments this year and winning the Barcelona Open in April.
American player Taylor Fritz, ranked 10th in the world, is another key figure. Despite an inconsistent season, Fritz has reached the finals of three tournaments this year, including the Washington Open. His powerful serve, which has yielded 687 aces so far this year, is his main weapon. If he can maintain his form under pressure, Fritz could challenge for his first Grand Slam title at the US Open.
Canadian star Felix Auger-Aliassime, ranked fourth in the world, has been in the top five for most of 2025. The 24-year-old has reached the quarter-finals of the French Open and Wimbledon, but his recent form has been patchy, with early exits in Montreal and Cincinnati. Auger-Aliassime will be hoping to bounce back at the US Open.
Russian sensation Daniil Medvedev, ranked eighth in the world, has a strong case for a Grand Slam title at Flushing Meadows. The 25-year-old has won titles on hard courts this year in Brisbane and Dubai, despite early rounds against Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. Medvedev's experience and hardcourt pedigree make him a serious contender for the US Open title.
