The US Open, the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year, is set to begin on Sunday, 30 August. This hard court tournament will conclude with the men's singles final on Sunday, 13 September, followed by the women's singles a day earlier. Qualifying for both the men's and women's singles events began on Monday and will conclude on Thursday. The mixed doubles competition took place earlier in the week and awarded $1 million in prize money to Czech pair Jakub Mensik and Karolina Muchova.

In the 2025 US Open, Spain's Carlos Alcaraz emerged victorious in the men's singles title, defeating Italy's Jannik Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4. The women's singles championship was claimed by Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, who overcame American Amanda Anisimova 6-3, 7-6 (7-3). Spain's Marcel Granollers and Argentina's Horacio Zeballos claimed the men's doubles title, while Canadian Gabriela Dabrowski and New Zealander Erin Routliffe won the women's doubles.

For British players, Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper will not participate in the US Open due to injuries. However, Cameron Norrie, ranked as the British number one, will represent the country in the men's singles draw. Other British players entering the tournament include Wimbledon semi-finalist Arthur Fery, Jan Choinski, and aspiring qualifiers Katie Boulter, Heather Watson, and Harriet Dart.
