US Open 2025: Stars to Watch Out

Carlos Alcaraz

US Open 2025: Stars to Watch Out– Youth vs Experience

Winning five trophies and nearly flawless performance in 48 of 54 games, Carlos Alcaraz has stunned in the 2025 season. However, on July 13 in London at Wimbledon, world number one Jannik Sinner defeated Alcaraz 4‑6, 6‑4, 6‑4, 6‑4 to win his first Wimbledon title and his fourth Grand Slam overall.

Now Alcaraz opted out of the Canadian Open in Toronto (July 27–Aug 7) to recover from minor muscle issues and focus on training for the US Open starting August 24. Alcaraz will even out their year-to-date tally and avenge his Wimbledon loss.

Jannik Sinner

US Open 2025: Stars to Watch Out– Youth vs Experience

Jannik Sinner returned to action strongly this season. After a runner-up finish to Carlos Alcaraz at Roland Garros, he defeated the Spaniard to win his maiden Wimbledon title earlier this month. With a Grand Slam title under his belt and renewed momentum, Sinner will look to carry his form into the US hard-court season, where his previous best at the US Open was a quarterfinal finish in 2022. 

The return of Ferrara could provide the stability and familiarity Sinner needs as he aims to build on his breakthrough year. Sinner has also reappointed his former fitness coach, Umberto Ferrara, as quick as he begins preparations for the US Open.

Coco Gauff

US Open 2025: Stars to Watch Out– Youth vs Experience

Coco Gauff achieved a career-defining moment at the 2023 US Open, winning her maiden Grand Slam singles title. As a 19-year-old American, she delighted the home crowd by defeating Aryna Sabalenka in a thrilling three-set final (2-6, 6-3, 6-2). This victory marked her as the first American teenager since Serena Williams in 1999 to win the US Open singles crown, solidifying her status as a major force in women's tennis.

That is why, Gauff is a fan favorite with strong baseline play and mental toughness.

Emma Raducanu

US Open 2025: Stars to Watch Out– Youth vs Experience

Emma Raducanu is a former Grand Slam champion, but she hasn’t had an easy ride of things over the last few years. In 2021, Raducanu shocked the world when she became the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam title at the US Open. Since then, the Briton has struggled to stay fit on the WTA Tour and has been widely criticized for her frequent coaching changes.

Things seemed to have clicked in 2025; however, as working alongside Mark Petchey, Raducanu has picked up several big wins. With the US Open less than a month away, Raducanu is on the verge of a major breakthrough, which could put her in contention to win her second Grand Slam title at Flushing Meadows.

Novak Djokovic

US Open 2025: Stars to Watch Out– Youth vs Experience

This is where the rankings diverge from methodology, as Novak Djokovic is ranked below three much-younger players but still, in my view, has a better chance in five-set matches. Djokovic got annihilated by Sinner in the Wimbledon Semifinal, and it looks more and more like the GOAT doesn’t have a prayer against men’s tennis’ new royalty. 

But I’d still probably pick him against any of the other 62 players in the tournament, a testament to how much his game has endured his older age.

Daniil Medvedev

US Open 2025: Stars to Watch Out– Youth vs Experience

This is the guy that beat Djokovic in the 2021 US Open Final when he was going for the calendar Grand Slam, and he’s just been unable to hack it this year. I don’t know what happened, but there’s no way it can stay this bad.
