The US Open doubled as a showcase for style this year, with leading players and their sponsors embracing bolder looks that turned the courts into a stage for personal expression alongside elite competition.
Highlights from the Tournament
On court, Naomi Osaka found a steady rhythm. She advanced with a comfortable win over Greet Minnen under the lights and followed up with a measured performance against Hailey Baptiste, picking her moments rather than overpowering every rally. Coco Gauff also moved on after a near three-hour opening test against Ajla Tomljanovic. Off the court, Gauff has brought in biomechanics specialist Gavin MacMillan to stabilize her serve and cut down on double faults, drawing on expertise that previously helped Aryna Sabalenka.
Taylor Townsend’s run ended in the fourth round against Barbora Krejcikova after she was unable to convert eight match points. Despite the sting of that loss, she left New York encouraged by the level she brought to the tournament.
Teenage prospect Maaya Rajeshwaran Revathi added to the week’s storylines. The 16-year-old from India, who trains with guidance from the Rafa Nadal Academy following a breakthrough in Mumbai, won her junior debut on Sunday, heightening expectations in a country where Sania Mirza helped open the door for the next generation.
Karolina Muchova offered a glimpse of life around the event, recharging with walks in Central Park and a night at Madison Square Garden to see Lady Gaga, while grinding through tough matches as she continued her push in New York.
As the tournament progresses, fans can expect more thrilling matches, personal stories, and exciting fashion moments that redefine what it means to compete at the highest level. This year’s US Open not only highlights the incredible talent of the players but also the unique ways they express themselves both on and off the court.
