U.S. leads all countries with 25 Americans in 2023 US Open singles draws

The women are led by No. 4 Jessica Pegula and No. 7 Coco Gauff, with 2017 US Open champion Sloane Stephens, 2020 Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin, and major finalists Jennifer Brady, Danielle Collins and Madison Keys also expected to compete.

Brady is one of five women entering on a special ranking as a result of an injury hiatus. The former world No. 13 hasn’t played since retiring in the second round of the 2021 Western and Southern Open. She has been sidelined due to foot and knee injuries for the past two years, but is ready for a comeback. Brady won the first match of her comeback on Monday at the ITF World Tennis Tour $100,000 event in Granby, Canada.

Kenin, ranked No. 91, rounds out the U.S. women with direct entry. The 2020 Australian Open champion surged back into the Top 100 as a result of a third-round run at Wimbledon, from qualifying, where she upset Gauff in the first round. 

Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe, ranked No. 9 and No. 10, respectively, will lead the American men—all 11 of whom are ranked in the Top 65. Tommy Paul and Sebastian Korda round out the Top 30, and Christopher Eubanks is hot on their heels at No. 31 after his heroics in the grass-court season: a title in Mallorca and run to the quarterfinals in his Wimbledon main-draw debut.

Reilly Opelka entered on a special ranking of No. 33 after a year-long hiatus due to a serious hip injury, followed by a wrist injury. He is a former world No. 17, and hasn’t competed since the 2022 Citi Open in Washington, D.C.

At the 2022 US Open, 13 men had direct entry into the singles draw, and five players reached the third round. Tiafoe was the only American left standing after the Round of 32 and made it all the way to the semifinals—the first American man to get that far since Andy Roddick in 2006.
