Tournament Overview

The US Open is the fourth and final Grand Slam of the season, played on outdoor hard courts at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, New York. The singles draws hold 128 players each, the tournament runs over 15 days from the last Sunday in August, and Arthur Ashe Stadium is the main show court.

The DecoTurf surface plays quicker than the Australian Open's GreenSet and rewards aggressive, first-strike tennis. Roger Federer, Pete Sampras and Jimmy Connors share the Open Era men's record with five titles each.

Recent champions, the tournament facts, the key contenders and the prize-money breakdown are all below. Our daily coverage carries the order of play, results and best bets for every day of the fortnight, and you can build and share your own bracket with the US Open Slam Predictor.
