Lone Star to All-Star: The 2026 Texas US Open Tracker
Texas ties ran deep at the 2026 US Open, with collegiate stars and local natives making noise across every draw in New York. Texas A&M’s Arthur Rinderknech and Longhorn Sebastian Gorzny both powered through to main-draw battles against No. 7 Daniil Medvedev, while TCU’s Jacob Fearnley ground out an impressive qualifying run to advance to the second round, and former Aggie Mary Stoiana fought through qualifying into the women's main draw. In doubles, Dallas native Ashlyn Krueger put together a sensational run alongside Robin Montgomery, charging all the way to the women’s doubles final, while Austin Krajicek (A&M), Lloyd Glasspool (Texas), and Nicole Melichar-Martinez (John Newcombe Tennis Ranch) all logged deep runs across the men's, women's, and mixed draws.
From main-draw victories by Baylor's Léolia Jeanjean to strong doubles performances from Texas, Texas A&M, TCU, SMU, and native Texans alike, Longhorns, Aggies, Horned Frogs, Bears, and local stars represented the Lone Star State with pride throughout the tournament.
