A host of Brits are expected to take part in this year’s main draw, with 2021 winner Emma Raducanu and current British number ones Katie Boulter and Jack Draper.
Draper will take up the men’s singles flag alongside Dan Evans as Cameron Norrie withdrew from the tournament due to injury.
It is also the first post-Andy Murray Slam for the British men’s contingent, as the three-time Grand Slam champion retired from the sport after the 2024 Paris Olympics, after nearly two decades at the top of the sport.
Raducanu will once again be a draw at Flushing Meadows, as the 2021 champion missed last year’s tournament due to surgery on either of her damaged wrists and left ankle.
The 21-year-old is now back to form, having climbed back into the world’s top hundred after a fourth-round finish at Wimbledon.
Dan Evans and Harriet Dart are also entered in the men’s and women’s singles main draw, while many other British hopefuls battled in a bid to qualify.
Alfie Hewett, the two-time men’s singles wheelchair protector champion, returns to the court where he crowned the four-time US Open winner, looking to add a tenth Grand Slam name to his resume.
Meanwhile, British doubles star Joe Salisbury will be looking for a fourth straight final at the US Open as he and American Rajeev Ram look to retain their men’s doubles crown once again.
The last Grand Slam of the year comes at the right time, when the war between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz in the men’s category intensifies.
Djokovic lost to the Spanish in the Wimbledon final last month, but arrives at Flushing Meadows having won the Olympic gold medal that had eluded him until now.
Djokovic had his revenge against Alcaraz in Paris, putting on a surprising performance to triumph in straight sets and win the “golden slam”, being only the fifth player to achieve it, after Steffi Graf, Andre Agassi, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams.
The 37-year-old Serbian is now pursuing a new milestone in history with his 25th Grand Slam at the US Open, which would allow him to break his current tie in 24th place with Australian Margaret Court.
Or will it be the turn of the young challengers on their throne again, with No. 1 world Jannik Sinner climbing to his Australia Open crown earlier this year and Alcaraz aiming for a fifth Grand Slam at just 21 years old?
On the women’s side, world number one Iga Swiatek will seek her sixth Grand Slam and her second title in New York in Alcaraz.
She leads the women’s field, protective champion Coco Gauff, Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina will also be in the mix, while could Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova pull off another upset?
