The 2025 US Open Tennis Championships is live from Queens, New York, as the top players from the men's and women's divisions compete for a Grand Slam title.

After a rough start to the year, Świątek (+310) is now basically neck and neck odds-wise with Sabalenka (+290), who is, again, the defending US Open champion. If anyone can unseat Sabalenka, it sure feels like Świątek is the most likely to do it.

Watch highlights as Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz are beaten 4-2 4-2 by Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula in the revamped US Open mixed doubles.

There is no doubt that Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are the two top favorites to win this edition of the US Open, which will take place in New York from August 24 to September 7. Both have won this tournament once and are perfectly aware of its importance for the race for the first position in the ATP rankings as well.

Big names fell early and unexpected teams broke through to steal the spotlight on Day 1 of U.S. Open mixed doubles play, headlining an electric opener packed with upsets and standout performances.

The No. 1-ranked Sinner, the defending champion in singles at Flushing Meadows, was supposed to compete in mixed doubles with Katerina Siniakova.
