Overview
- Qualifying matches held on Monday produced Katerina Siniaková/Henry Patten and Erin Routliffe/Lloyd Glasspool as late entries into the 16-team main draw.
- A wrist injury to Frances Tiafoe prompted his withdrawal and moved Siniaková and Patten into the slot against top seeds Aryna Sabalenka and Novak Djokovic at Arthur Ashe around 11 a.m. ET.
- Serena Williams and Carlos Alcaraz will play Routliffe and Glasspool on Arthur Ashe not before 2 p.m. ET as part of Tuesday's first‑round and quarterfinal schedule.
- Matches through the semifinals use short sets to four games with no‑advantage scoring, a tiebreak at 4‑4 and a 10‑point match tiebreak instead of a third set while the final uses six‑game sets with a 10‑point tiebreaker.
- The USTA's reworked two‑day event and $1 million top prize are increasing TV coverage on ESPN platforms and fubo but have drawn criticism because combined‑singles‑ranking entry rules forced top doubles specialists into qualifying, a dynamic that could alter access and careers in doubles.
