Venus Williams is competing at Flushing Meadows for the 25th time, facing Karolina Muchova, who has previously defeated both Williams sisters at this event. On the men's side, the top two players, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, are favored to potentially meet in the final, continuing their recent rivalry after victories at Roland Garros and Wimbledon. The draw also includes other top contenders like Novak Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev, and emerging American players, setting up a challenging path for all.
