The US Open is the fourth and final Grand Slam of the tennis calendar, played on hard courts at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, Queens. Known for its electric night-session atmosphere, deafening crowd energy, and the fastest hard courts in the Slam circuit, the US Open crowns the last major champions of the season. In 2026, all eyes are on Jannik Sinner as he bids to defend his title, with Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, and Alexander Zverev among the fiercest challengers. On the women's side, Aryna Sabalenka returns as defending champion with Coco Gauff carrying home-crowd hopes.
