"The U.S. Open is two weeks of tennis competition, a sort of Olympic-type event for one specific sport. Leading up to week one is fan week, which kicked off on August 18 and featured the mixed doubles tournament, qualifying matches, and lots of practice. There were also family friendly events such as Marvel comic giveaways.The singles competition, which is the the main event of the U.S. Open, begins on Sunday, August 24. This week also features men's and women's doubles competitions."
"Most players qualify for the U.S. Open because of their high rankings. Others have to compete in the qualifying tournament during fan week to earn a spot. The third and final way to get a chance to compete is through a wild card invitation from USTA. Who's favored to become the U.S. Open women's singles champion? Last year's winner, Aryna Sabalenka, would love to win two years in a row."
The 2025 U.S. Open takes place at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, Queens, New York. Fan week began August 18 with mixed doubles, qualifying matches, practice sessions, and family events. Singles competition starts August 24 and includes men's and women's doubles during the first week. Week two continues singles play, with the women's final on September 6 and the men's final on September 7, and junior events during the second week. Players qualify mostly by ranking, via qualifying tournaments during fan week, or by USTA wild card invitations. Top contenders include Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, and Iga Świątek.
