"Pam Shriver: Swiatek seems to have solved the riddle of faster courts by winning Wimbledon in dominant fashion, then a month later also winning in Cincinnati. Her ground strokes seem more compact, which is helping her gain control in faster conditions. Swiatek's footwork is impeccable and her serve has improved. She will win her second US Open championship and her seventh major singles title."
"John Isner: I will take Swiatek. It's a very chalky pick, but she's playing the best of anyone right now and has found her game very nicely on fast courts. D'Arcy Maine: It's hard to argue with momentum and perhaps no one has more of it this summer than Swiatek. Since her unbelievable performance at Wimbledon for her sixth major title, she has completely turned around her season."
Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner enter the US Open as defending champions in their respective draws. Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz previously met in both the French Open and Wimbledon finals, splitting those outcomes. Novak Djokovic remains a potential finalist and a contender to claim a record 25th Grand Slam title. Iga Swiatek won Wimbledon and Cincinnati recently, displaying more compact groundstrokes, improved serve, and strong footwork, and has regained dominant hard-court form. Coco Gauff, the 2023 US Open and 2025 French Open champion, also represents a major contender in New York.
