The 2025 US Open Tennis Championships is live from Queens, New York, as the top players from the men's and women's divisions compete for a Grand Slam title.
There is no doubt that Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are the two top favorites to win this edition of the US Open, which will take place in New York from August 24 to September 7. Both have won this tournament once and are perfectly aware of its importance for the race for the first position in the ATP rankings as well.
After a rough start to the year, Świątek (+310) is now basically neck and neck odds-wise with Sabalenka (+290), who is, again, the defending US Open champion. If anyone can unseat Sabalenka, it sure feels like Świątek is the most likely to do it.
Nathan, a co-founder of the sports website Defector Media, has published “ Changeover: A Young Rivalry and a New Era of Men’s Tennis ” with Gallery Books. He spent the 2024 season squarely focused on Sinner and Alcaraz, in which they split the four majors and accelerated their ascension into a tennis stratosphere of their own creation.
