US Open

The US Open 2025 Singles Champions were Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka

The US Open tennis tournament is the fourth and final Grand Slam held each year. It follows the Australian Open, French Open and the prestigious Wimbledon Championships, which remains the sole tennis Grand Slam major played on grass courts.

In 2020 the US Open was the second Grand Slam tournament following the Australian Open with the French Open (moved until September 27 – October 11 due to the COVID-19 pandemic), with Wimbledon 2020 cancelled.

The second oldest of the Grand Slams after the time-honoured Wimbledon, the US Open is played on outdoor, acrylic (DecoTurf) hard courts in New York City at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre.

The predecessor to the United States Open Tennis Championships, the Open Era dating back to 1968, was the U.S. Men’s Singles National Championship founded back in 1881 and held on Rhode Island. The first of the Women’s Singles tournaments ran a few years later at Philadelphia in 1887. Over AU$42 million in prize money is on offer to the US Open winners who take to the courts over two weeks from the last Monday of August into September annually.

  • Date: Sunday, September 7, 2025

In the 2025 US Open Men’s Singles Final, Carlos Alcaraz showcased his dominance and resilience by defeating Jannik Sinner 6–2, 3–6, 6–1, 6–4 in a high-stakes clash that marked their third consecutive Grand Slam final meeting; Alcaraz’s aggressive baseline play and tactical variety overwhelmed Sinner, earning him his sixth major title and propelling him back to the World No. 1 ranking.

2025 US Open Women’s Singles Final

Aryna Sabalenka defeated Amanda Anisimova 6–3, 7–6(7–3)

  • Winner: Aryna Sabalenka
  • Score: 6–3, 7–6(7–3)
  • Date: Saturday, September 6, 2025

In the 2025 US Open Women’s Singles Final, World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka defended her title with a hard-fought straight-sets victory over Amanda Anisimova, winning 6–3, 7–6(7–3) in 94 minutes at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Despite a spirited challenge from the American eighth seed, Sabalenka’s consistency and dominance in tiebreaks—securing her 19th consecutive breaker win—proved decisive. The Belarusian claimed her fourth Grand Slam title and became the first woman since Serena Williams to win back-to-back US Open crowns, capping off a season that included runner-up finishes at the Australian and French Opens.

The inaugural tournament of the Open Era ran at the West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills in 1968. A few years later in 1973 the US Open made history being the first of the Grand Slam tournaments to award male and female players equal prize money. John Newcombe band Margaret Court were the respective Men’s and Single’s US Open winners that year taking out $25,000 in prize money each.

Both the Men’s Singles US Open winners and Women’s Singles US Open winners are awarded full-size replica trophies engraved with their names.

US Open Odds & Betting

US Open betting is the last chance punters for tennis fans to back of a winner of a Grand Slam, so the markets are always highly competitive. Because US Open matches go into tie-breakers, there are plenty of nail-biting moments across the fortnight of play and the US Open odds for head-to-head betting can be tight as well. There has never been a fifth set tie-break since it was instituted in 1975 however, so tipping this result can be dangerous for punters!

Along with outright US Open Winners odds per match there are a host of other tennis betting markets open every year. Fans can predict and put money on exact set results, correct scores for the first set, whether there will be a tie-break in the first set, which player will win the first set, whether there will be odds/even total games for the match and who will break the first serve.

The 2025 US Open runs from late August and all-in betting markets on the Men’s Singles and Women’s Singles are open now!

US Open history dates right back to 1881 with the U.S. National Championships, also known as the Amateur Era, followed by the US Open Era from 1968 onwards. The world’s biggest tennis champions have their names etched on the US Open Winners list.

Men’s US Open Singles Champions

While three players during the Amateur Era won seven Men’s Singles titles (see records) in the Open Era the record is five championships held by American Jimmy Conners, fellow Yankee Pete Sampras and Swiss champ Roger Federer. Federer won all five of his US Open Men’s Singles titles on the trot giving him the record of most consecutive wins (since 1968) between 2004-2008.

US players hold the All-Time US Open Men’s Singles record of 85 victories followed by Australia (18). The last Aussie to win the title was Lleyton Hewitt (2011). Before him Pat Rafter went back-to-back in 1997-98.
