The 23 women mark the eighth consecutive year 20 or more American women have played in the main draw, the first stretch like that since 1998-2005.

 

Four American men are seeded, with Taylor Fritz leading the way at No. 10. Seven American women count among the Top 32, with No. 8 Jessica Pegula as the highest-seeded American.

Seeded American Men: (10) Taylor Fritz, (22) Frances Tiafoe, (29) Tommy Paul, (30) Maxime Cressy
