US Open
Hard court in New York, 30 Aug to 13 Sep 2026.
The US Open in short
The US Open is a Grand Slam event held in New York on hard courts, usually in August and September. The main singles draw holds 128 players.
Surface decides more here than most fans expect. Hard courts sit between clay and grass for speed, which is why they produce the fewest surprises of the three and why the ranking order tends to hold.
Our dates count the main draw only. Qualifying runs the week before and most calendars fold it in, which is why a start date printed elsewhere can be a week earlier than ours. The full draw with scores is updated while the tournament runs.
