The countdown to Flushing Meadows just got turbocharged! In BREAKING NEWS, the USTA has officially unveiled the 2025 US Open entry lists, and at the top of the pile are none other than defending champions Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka — both locked in and ready to defend their hard-earned crowns. Tennis Twitter is already frothing at the mouth with speculation, anticipation, and yes… plenty of spicy predictions.
Fresh off their dominant 2024 US Open victories, Sinner and Sabalenka are back with a vengeance. Sinner, who shocked the world last year by conquering Novak Djokovic in a heart-pounding five-set final, looks stronger than ever this season. The 23-year-old Italian has been on a tear in 2025, collecting titles like stamps and serving notice to the rest of the field that his win in New York was no fluke.
Meanwhile, Sabalenka — tennis’s fearless powerhouse from Belarus — is coming in hot. Her 2024 title run was nothing short of ferocious, and with her signature roar and brutal groundstrokes, she’s not just defending her title… she’s ready to dominate. And let’s not forget: she thrives under pressure.
Also included on the entry lists? All the big names and fan favorites are confirmed. Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina, and more are ready to light up Arthur Ashe Stadium under the bright New York lights.
But it’s not just about who’s playing — it’s about who’s ready to crash the party. Rising stars like Holger Rune, Emma Raducanu, and Mirra Andreeva are looking to shake things up and maybe even pull off a few headline-making upsets.
The announcement also confirmed that Venus Williams, in what may be her final US Open, is set to receive a wildcard, setting up an emotional farewell that’s sure to have fans reaching for tissues. Meanwhile, local hopes like Ben Shelton and Madison Keys are back in action, hoping to ride the energy of the home crowd deep into the draw.
Bottom line? The 2025 US Open is shaping up to be a blockbuster — and it hasn’t even started yet.
With Sinner and Sabalenka leading the charge, the defending champions aren’t just back… they’re ready to remind everyone why they wear the crown. Let the countdown begin. 👑🔥🇺🇸
