On the women's side, Australia's Ajla Tomljanovic looks set to be handed another Centre Court opportunity for her opening round match against American home favourite and World No.3 Coco Gauff. Tomljanovic famously beat Serena Williams three years ago in the American legend's final match on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Nick Kyrgios's season continues to be ruined by injuries as his Australian compatriots learn who they will be facing to start the US Open singles campaign next week.

If Jannik Sinner captures the US Open title, he’ll join an exclusive club alongside Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal.

Australian world No.8 Alex de Minaur says his preparation for the US Open is poles apart from last year's injury-ravaged build-up to the New York grand slam.

World No.8 De Minaur had asked for a wildcard "pretty pretty please" via social media, but was rejected meaning he is the highest-ranked man not in the event.

Sinner is currently the World No. 1 with a record of 31-4 with two titles (Australian Open and Wimbledon). Last year, Sinner won the 2024 US Open, marking his first-ever title in New York City.

Aussie tennis star Alex de Minaur is facing the prospect of dropping out of the top eight in the rankings ahead of the US Open after a shock defeat to Reilly Opelka at the Cincinnati Open. De Minaur was heading into the tournament in stellar form having only lost to Ben Shelton on hard court since the start of his North American campaign.

Alex de Minaur's quest to play doubles at the US Open is rejected, as Nick Kyrgios pulls out of the newly formatted draw.

Sinner, who is competing in his first tournament since defeating two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon last month, has yet to drop a set in Cincinnati. In the second round, Sinner breadsticked Daniel Galan 6-1, 6-1 before then defeating Gabriel Diallo in the Round of 32.
