US Open—Flushing Meadows, New York
Day 7 of the 2025 US Open Belongs to Sinner, Swiatek, Zverev & Gauff
Saturday’s Previews and Results from the 2025 US Open
Labour Day weekend in New York City at the 2025 US Open will feature world No. 1 Jannik Sinner looking to reach the fourth-round of the event, taking on No. 27 seed Denis Shapovalov in what could be the match of the day.
