2025 US Open Women’s Preview: Sabalenka, Swiatek, Gauff Among Favorites

Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff have won the last three U.S. Open tournaments, so it’s fitting they’re the top three seeds.

The 2025 U.S. Open begins Sunday in New York, with the Women’s Final set for Sept. 6, and Aryna Sabalenka is clearly the one to beat.

The Belarusian enters as the defending women’s singles champion and is both the No. 1-ranked player in the world and the top seed in the draw.
