2025 US Open: dates, schedule, seeds, how to watch on TV

CNA5 days ago
The U.S. Open is a hardcourt Grand Slam organised by the United States Tennis Association. The tournament was first held in 1881 and originally known as the U.S. National Championships.
Here is what you need to know about the year's fourth and final major of the year:
WHEN IS THE 2025 U.S. OPEN HAPPENING?
* The 145th edition of the U.S. Open will run from August 24 to September 7.
WHERE IS IT TAKING PLACE?
* The U.S. Open is held in Flushing Meadows, New York.
* The three main showcourts are the Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium and Grandstand.
* Arthur Ashe Stadium (capacity: 23,771) is named after the only Black man to win singles titles at Wimbledon, the U.S. Open and the Australian Open. He was also a prominent human rights activist.
* Louis Armstrong Stadium (capacity: 14,053) was named after jazz great Armstrong who lived a few blocks from the venue until he died in 1971. It was opened during the 2018 event to replace the 1978 stadium of the same name and has a retractable roof like the main showcourt.
* Grandstand (capacity: 8,125) was first used at the U.S. Open on August 29, 2016, the opening day of that year's tournament.
WHO IS PLAYING?
* The top-ranked players automatically enter the main draw, with 32 seeds announced prior to the draw, to ensure they do not meet in the early rounds. Seedings are based on world rankings determined by the points players collect on the tour.
* Italian Jannik Sinner, who won his fourth Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in July, is the men's world number one. He is chasing back-to-back U.S. Open titles.
* Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, a three-times major winner, is the top-ranked women's player and the defending champion.
* Novak Djokovic will resume his quest for a record-extending 25th men's Grand Slam singles title, while Spanish world number two and 2022 champion Carlos Alcaraz chases a sixth major crown.
* Organisers also hand out wildcards to local hopes and notable players who have dropped down the rankings.
* A new format in the mixed doubles is being introduced this year, with the event featuring many big-name singles players as it will be taking place over two days in the week before the main competition starts. Former singles champions Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu are among those who have teamed up.

Defending champions Sabalenka, Sinner advance in rain-hit Cincinnati Open

World number one Aryna Sabalenka cruised into the Cincinnati Open quarter-finals with a 6-1 7-5 win over Jessica Bouzas Maneiro on Wednesday, while defending champion Jannik Sinner beat Adrian Mannarino following a lengthy rain delay. Fresh off a thrilling third-round battle with Emma Raducanu, reigning champion Sabalenka had an easier ride against the Spaniard, earning her tour-leading 50th win in one hour and 20 minutes. "I was up a break, made a couple of mistakes and she broke me back," Sabalenka said. "I'm glad to win in straight sets. I didn't want to stay for three hours." The Belarusian will next meet Elena Rybakina in a final-worthy showdown, as the ninth-seeded Kazakh rallied to beat Madison Keys 6-7(3) 6-4 6-2. Earlier, third seed Iga Swiatek reached the quarters with a 6-4 6-4 win over Sorana Cirstea, with the Wimbledon champion extending her perfect record against the Romanian to 5-0. "We played many tough matches, so I know Sorana can really hit the ball well, especially on faster surfaces," Poland's Swiatek said. "Not many of my first serves went in, but I was happy I was solid on my second serves." Fellow Pole Magda Linette secured her second Top-10 win of the season, upsetting fourth seed Jessica Pegula 7-6(5) 3-6 6-3 in a third-round match that extended over two days after Tuesday's suspension due to rain. SINNER, ALCARAZ THROUGH In the men's draw, top seed Sinner kept his title defence on track, beating France's Mannarino 6-4 7-6(4) after an almost three-hour rain interruption. The Italian struggled to find his rhythm, failing to serve out at 6-5 but sealing the tiebreak with back-to-back aces for his 24th consecutive hard-court victory. "He is a very tough opponent. Very different from other opponents, not only because he is a lefty but how he hits the ball. It's very low," Sinner said. "I just tried to serve well and tried to see what I could do in the return games." Sinner will face 23rd seed Felix Auger-Aliassime in his fifth quarter-final this year. Second seed Carlos Alcaraz booked his 18th Masters 1000 quarter-final by beating Italy's Luca Nardi 6-1 6-4. The Spaniard, into the last eight in Cincinnati for the third time, has now won 36 of his last 38 matches. "This match was the best so far for me in this tournament," Alcaraz said. "I'm really happy with the way I felt the ball today and the way that I moved. I got used to the conditions, the humidity and heat. I'm happy to get through." Ben Shelton, whose match was also halted after the first set, progressed to the last 16 with a 7-6(3) 6-3 win over Roberto Bautista Agut. The American fifth seed will face Czech Jiri Lehecka. Alexander Zverev completed a 6-4 6-4 win over Brandon Nakashima after the match was suspended overnight when he was leading 5-4 in the second set. The German third seed is set to return to the court later on Wednesday, aiming to avenge last week's Toronto semi-final loss to Russian Karen Khachanov. French qualifier Terence Atmane earned the biggest win of his career by stunning fourth seed Taylor Fritz 3-6 7-5 6-3, earning his first Masters 1000 quarter-final berth.

Swiatek, Sinner advance in rain-hit Cincinnati Open

Third seed Iga Swiatek reached the Cincinnati quarter-finals with a 6-4 6-4 win over Sorana Cirstea on Wednesday, while defending champion Jannik Sinner beat Adrian Mannarino following a lengthy rain delay. Wimbledon champion Swiatek extended her perfect record against Cirstea to 5-0 and will next face the winner of an all-Russian clash between Anna Kalinskaya and Ekaterina Alexandrova. "We played many tough matches, so I know Sorana can really hit the ball well, especially on faster surfaces," Poland's Swiatek said. "I'm happy I was solid enough. I was trying to be proactive with my serve, not many of my first serves went in, but I was happy I was solid on my second serves." Fellow Pole Magda Linette upset fourth seed Jessica Pegula 7-6(5) 3-6 6-3 in a third-round match that extended over two days after Tuesday's suspension due to rain. The American had levelled the match at a set apiece, but on Wednesday's resumption Linette earned the break before closing it out on serve for her second Top-10 win of the season. In the men's draw, top seed Sinner kept his title defence on track, beating French qualifier Mannarino 6-4 7-6(4) after an almost three-hour rain interruption. The Italian struggled to find his rhythm, failing to serve out at 6-5 but sealing the tiebreak with back-to-back aces for his 24th consecutive hard-court victory. Mannarino "is a very tough opponent. Very different from other opponents, not only because he is a lefty but how he hits the ball. It is very low," the 23-year-old Sinner said. "I just tried to serve well and tried to see what I could do in the return games." Sinner will face either 23rd seed Felix Auger-Aliassime or France's Benjamin Bonzi in what will be his fifth quarter-final this year. Ben Shelton, whose match was also halted after the first set, advanced to the round of 16 with a 7-6(3) 6-3 win over Roberto Bautista Agut. The American fifth seed will next face Czech Jiri Lehecka. Alexander Zverev completed a 6-4 6-4 win over Brandon Nakashima after the match was suspended overnight when he was leading 5-4 in the second set. The German third seed is set to return to the court later on Wednesday, aiming to avenge last week's Toronto semi-final loss to Russian Karen Khachanov.

Swiatek, Zverev advance in rain-hit Cincinnati Open

Third seed Iga Swiatek reached the Cincinnati quarter-finals with a 6-4 6-4 win over Sorana Cirstea on Wednesday, while Alexander Zverev needed just one game to complete victory over Brandon Nakashima before rain halted play again. Wimbledon champion Swiatek extended her perfect record against Cirstea to 5-0 and will next face the winner of an all-Russian clash between Anna Kalinskaya and Ekaterina Alexandrova. "We played many tough matches, so I know Sorana can really hit the ball well, especially on faster surfaces," Poland's Swiatek said. "I'm happy I was solid enough.

Earlier, seventh seed Holger Rune advanced after home favourite Frances Tiafoe was forced to retire with a back injury.
