CAN KESSLER BREAK THE ALEXANDROVA CODE? ⚡
US OPEN 2026 | WOMEN’S SINGLES — ROUND 1
No.18 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova opens her New York campaign against McCartney Kessler in a matchup defined by aggressive court positioning, early ball-striking and a clear head-to-head challenge for the American.
Alexandrova has won both of their previous meetings in straight sets. She defeated Kessler 6-3, 6-3 in the 2025 Ningbo quarterfinals and repeated the result with a 6-3, 6-4 victory in Abu Dhabi earlier this season. The US Open will provide Kessler with a third opportunity to change the pattern.
Kessler has built her rise through fearless, competitive tennis. The former World No.30 owns three WTA titles, including Hobart and Nottingham in 2025, and reached her third tour-level quarterfinal of the 2026 season at Eastbourne. Her compact swings, athletic defense and ability to turn neutral balls into forehand attacks make her especially dangerous on hard courts.
Alexandrova enters as the established seed and proven elite-level threat. She broke into the WTA Top 10 for the first time in 2025, reached the Abu Dhabi final this season and recently defeated World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka to reach the Toronto quarterfinals. Her flat, penetrating groundstrokes and aggressive return position can take time away immediately.
Kessler must serve accurately, protect her second serve and vary the height and direction of rallies. Alexandrova will look to step inside the baseline, attack early and keep the points inside her preferred first-strike patterns.
Alexandrova leads the rivalry 2-0—but can Kessler rewrite the script on the biggest stage?

THE CHAMPION RETURNS TO THE STAGE THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING 🏆🗽
US OPEN 2026 | WOMEN’S SINGLES — ROUND 1
Sloane Stephens returns to New York with a wild card and a powerful history behind her, facing Denmark’s Clara Tauson in a first-round clash between one of the game’s finest counterpunchers and one of its most aggressive ball-strikers.
Flushing Meadows will always belong to Stephens. In 2017, she arrived unseeded and completed one of tennis’ great comeback stories, winning the title just two months after returning to competition ranked No.957 following foot surgery and 11 months away. The former World No.3 is fighting through another rebuilding chapter after a foot injury sidelined her for six months in 2025. Earlier this year, she ended a 13-match losing streak and successfully came through Australian Open qualifying.
Across the net, Tauson brings first-strike power. The 23-year-old Dane has reached World No.12, owns three WTA singles titles and won Auckland in 2025 before reaching her first WTA 1000 final in Dubai. Her heavy serve, compact groundstrokes and willingness to step inside the baseline can take time away from any opponent.
The tactical contrast is clear. Tauson will look to dominate short rallies, attack second serves and finish points before Stephens settles into her rhythm. Stephens must return deep, absorb the Dane’s pace and use her speed, timing and changes of direction to extend exchanges.
Can Stephens summon the New York magic that made her a champion, or will Tauson’s power open the door to a major run?

THE CONTENDER MEETS THE COMEBACK FIGHTER 🔥🎾
US OPEN 2026 | WOMEN’S SINGLES — ROUND 1
No.11 seed Marta Kostyuk begins her New York campaign against Australian qualifier Storm Hunter in a matchup shaped by elite momentum, resilience and contrasting styles.
Kostyuk arrives after the most successful season of her career. The Ukrainian captured titles in Rouen and Madrid, reached Grand Slam semifinals at both Roland Garros and Wimbledon and climbed to a career-high No.11. Her explosive movement, aggressive return position and ability to change direction from both wings have transformed her into a genuine major contender.
Hunter’s presence in the main draw is an achievement in itself. The former doubles World No.1 suffered an Achilles injury in April 2024 that kept her away for more than a year. She returned through qualifying in Melbourne and has continued rebuilding her singles career. In New York, the 32-year-old won three qualifying matches—including a victory over No.4 qualifying seed Darja Semenistaja—to reach the US Open main draw for the third time.
The Australian also knows how to win on this stage: Hunter lifted the 2022 US Open mixed doubles trophy alongside John Peers. Her left-handed patterns, sharp net instincts and doubles-honed anticipation could disrupt Kostyuk’s baseline rhythm.
Kostyuk will try to attack the second serve, control the center of the court and prevent Hunter from moving forward. Hunter’s route to the upset requires variety, low returns and constant pressure around the net.
Does Kostyuk launch another deep Grand Slam run, or can Hunter complete one of the tournament’s most inspiring comeback stories?

US OPEN 2026 | WOMEN’S SINGLES — ROUND 1
Daria Snigur returns to Flushing Meadows for a fascinating first-round test against No.15 seed Diana Shnaider—two fearless ball-strikers arriving with major breakthroughs behind them.
Snigur’s name is already connected to one of New York’s most memorable recent upsets. In 2022, ranked No.124 and making her Grand Slam main-draw debut, the Ukrainian qualifier defeated former World No.1 Simona Halep. Four years later, she returns in career-best form. Snigur won her first WTA 125 title in Oeiras, reached her first WTA singles final in Prague and climbed to a career-high No.43 during a 2026 season built on flat, unpredictable attacking tennis.
Shnaider has produced an even bigger Grand Slam statement this year. At Roland Garros, the powerful left-hander recovered from a set and a double-break deficit to defeat World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka, winning the final 10 games and reaching her first major semifinal. A five-time WTA singles champion and former World No.11, Shnaider brings explosive forehand angles, physical intensity and the confidence to change a match rapidly.
The tactical battle should be immediate. Snigur must take the ball early, redirect pace and prevent Shnaider from controlling rallies with her left-handed forehand. Shnaider will look to create wide angles, attack second serves and force Snigur to defend from uncomfortable positions.
Can Snigur deliver another signature US Open upset, or will Shnaider begin a new major run in New York?

NEW YORK ROYALTY MEETS BELGIUM’S BREAKTHROUGH STAR 🗽🎾
US OPEN 2026 | WOMEN’S SINGLES
Hanne Vandewinkel faces Karolína Plíšková in a fascinating first-round clash between rising momentum and proven experience.
The 22-year-old Belgian is producing the best season of her career. After making her Grand Slam main-draw debut at Roland Garros, Vandewinkel continued her rise through the summer, collected her fourth World Tennis title in Landisville and moved to a new career high. Earlier this season, she also earned her first Top 20 victory by defeating Iva Jovic in Billie Jean King Cup action. Her movement, compact aggression and willingness to step inside the baseline make her dangerous when she finds rhythm.
Across the net stands one of the most accomplished servers of her generation. Former World No.1 Plíšková owns 17 WTA singles titles and reached the 2016 US Open final after defeating Serena Williams in the semifinals. Following the ankle injury and surgery that ended her 2024 season and kept her out for most of 2025, the Czech has battled back through 2026. Her hard-court blueprint remains clear: land the first serve, shorten the points and take control with flat, early groundstrokes.
Vandewinkel’s challenge is to neutralize the return, extend rallies and make Plíšková move. Plíšková will look to protect her service games and command the first strike.
Can Belgium’s rising force announce herself on the New York stage, or will the former finalist’s experience decide the match?

US OPEN 2026 | WOMEN’S SINGLES — ROUND 1
No.20 seed Maja Chwalinska faces Taylor Townsend in one of the opening round’s most intriguing tactical matchups—a battle between two left-handers whose creativity has produced unforgettable Grand Slam stories.
Chwalinska arrives in New York after one of the most remarkable breakthroughs of the 2026 season. She entered Roland Garros qualifying ranked No.114 and competing in only the third Grand Slam main draw of her career. Two weeks later, she had become the first qualifier to reach the Roland Garros final and only the second qualifier in the Open Era to contest a major singles final.
That extraordinary run carried the 24-year-old Pole to a career-high ranking of World No.21 and earned her the No.20 seed at the US Open.
Her journey carries even greater meaning because Chwalinska has spoken openly about her battle with depression and endured several injury setbacks that repeatedly interrupted her career. Her rise is not simply a rankings story—it is one of perseverance, recovery and finally trusting her distinctive game on the sport’s biggest stages.
Townsend possesses one of the most complete all-court games in women’s tennis and has repeatedly produced her best singles performances in New York. The American reached the fourth round of the US Open in both 2019 and 2025.
Her 2025 run included victories over Jelena Ostapenko and No.5 seed Mirra Andreeva before Barbora Krejcikova survived eight match points to defeat her in a dramatic three-hour fourth-round battle.
Townsend is also one of the world’s elite doubles players. Currently ranked World No.2 in doubles, she has completed an individual Career Grand Slam and added another major title alongside Katerina Siniakova at Roland Garros earlier this season.

THE AUSTRALIAN BREAKTHROUGH MEETS AMERICAN FIREPOWER 🔥
US OPEN 2026 | WOMEN’S SINGLES — ROUND 1
Australian wild card Taylah Preston faces Alycia Parks in a first-round matchup built around fearless attacking tennis and two of the season’s most determined competitors.
Preston arrives in New York during the strongest season of her young career. The 20-year-old announced her breakthrough in Hobart, where she defeated top seed Emma Raducanu 6-2, 6-4 to secure her first Top 30 victory and reach her maiden WTA Tour semifinal.
The Australian continued building momentum during the summer by winning her first WTA 125 title in Vancouver, defeating compatriot Maddison Inglis in the final. That success helped Preston enter the Top 100 for the first time and earn a place in the US Open main draw through Tennis Australia’s reciprocal wild-card agreement.
Parks brings a completely different level of physical power. Standing 6-foot-1, the American owns one of the biggest serves on the women’s tour and has climbed as high as World No.40. She captured her first WTA singles title in Lyon in 2023 and reached the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time at the 2024 US Open.
Parks has already demonstrated her resilience several times this season. She recovered from a one-set deficit to defeat Diana Shnaider in Doha and recently came from behind to beat 2026 Roland Garros finalist Maja Chwalinska 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 in Monterrey.

A NEW YORK REMATCH — FIVE YEARS LATER 🎾
US OPEN 2026 | WOMEN’S SINGLES — ROUND 1
Kamilla Rakhimova and Barbora Krejcikova are preparing to meet again at Flushing Meadows, five years after their first US Open encounter.
Their previous meeting came in the third round of the 2021 US Open. Krejcikova, then seeded No.8, defeated lucky loser Rakhimova 6-4, 6-2 during her first appearance in the tournament’s singles main draw.
🇺🇿 Kamilla Rakhimova now represents Uzbekistan and arrives in New York with hard courts listed as her favorite surface. The 25-year-old right-hander has reached a career-high ranking of World No.60 and has made the third round of a Grand Slam on three occasions. Rakhimova has also tested the sport’s biggest names at Flushing Meadows, pushing Iga Swiatek to a second-set tiebreak in their 2024 first-round meeting.
🇨🇿 Barbora Krejcikova enters the draw as the No.27 seed. The former World No.2 is a two-time Grand Slam singles champion, lifting the Roland Garros trophy in 2021 and the Wimbledon title in 2024. After missing three months of the 2026 season because of a thigh injury, Krejcikova returned to the winner’s circle in Athens, securing her ninth career singles title and climbing back into the Top 30.
🔍 TACTICAL KEY
Rakhimova will need to serve effectively, take the ball early and use her pace to prevent Krejcikova from controlling the shape of the rallies. Krejcikova will look to disrupt that rhythm with changes of height, spin and direction before using her all-court instincts to move forward.
Rakhimova is searching for a different ending. Krejcikova is aiming to repeat her 2021 victory.
Will history repeat itself, or will Rakhimova complete the New York revenge story?

US OPEN 2026 | WOMEN’S SINGLES — ROUND 1
Aoi Ito and Oksana Selekhmeteva meet in a fascinating first-round matchup shaped by two very different tennis identities.
🇯🇵 Aoi Ito is one of the tour’s most unconventional young players. Inspired by Hsieh Su-wei, the Japanese talent uses slices from both wings, sudden changes of pace, drop shots and improvised angles to disrupt her opponent’s rhythm. Ito introduced herself on the WTA stage by reaching the semifinals in Osaka in 2024, defeating Sofia Kenin and Elisabetta Cocciaretto during her breakthrough run. She has since climbed as high as World No.82.
🇪🇸 Oksana Selekhmeteva brings a different challenge. The left-hander moved to Barcelona alone at just 15 years old to pursue her professional career and now represents Spain. A former World No.71, she showed her ability to trouble established names by defeating Paula Badosa at the 2026 Australian Open.
🔍 TACTICAL KEY
Ito will look to break the match’s rhythm with variation, low slices and unexpected changes of direction. Selekhmeteva’s task will be to maintain depth, impose her left-handed patterns and prevent Ito from controlling the rallies with creativity.
Will Ito’s unpredictability unlock the match, or will Selekhmeteva’s left-handed pressure take control?

US OPEN 2026 | WOMEN’S SINGLES — ROUND 1
Mexico’s Renata Zarazua faces qualifier Polina Iatcenko in a matchup that brings established Grand Slam experience together with the freedom and momentum of a major debut.
Zarazua returns to the tournament where she produced the biggest victory of her career. At the 2025 US Open, she recovered from a set and 3-0 down to defeat No.6 seed and reigning Australian Open champion Madison Keys in an unforgettable three-hour-and-10-minute battle.
That result made Zarazua the first Mexican woman since 1995 to defeat a Top 10 seed at a Grand Slam. The former world No.51 now returns to New York with another opportunity to carry Mexican tennis onto one of the sport’s biggest stages.
Across the net, 22-year-old Iatcenko arrives after fighting her way through qualifying. Ranked No.160 and competing in her first Grand Slam main draw, the Russian enters with three matches of hard-court rhythm and absolutely nothing to lose.
Zarazua will aim to use her movement, defensive discipline, spin and changes of pace to disrupt the qualifier’s timing. Iatcenko must carry her qualifying confidence into the opening exchanges, protect her second serve and attack whenever the Mexican leaves the ball short.
Will Zarazua’s experience control the occasion, or can Iatcenko celebrate her Grand Slam debut with another breakthrough?

From qualifying to the main draw: Harriet Dart faces Peyton Stearns in New York. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Dart booked her place by fighting back to defeat Heather Watson 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 in the final qualifying round. The Brit has already shown she can produce a New York upset, having defeated No.10 seed Daria Kasatkina at the 2022 US Open.
Stearns arrives as a two-time WTA singles champion after lifting the 2026 ATX Open trophy in Austin. The 2022 NCAA singles champion also reached the fourth round of the 2023 US Open.
Will Dart carry her qualifying momentum into the main draw, or will Stearns take control on home soil?

Elemelerden ana tabloya: Harriet Dart, New York’ta Peyton Stearns ile karşılaşıyor. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Dart, eleme finalinde Heather Watson karşısında geri dönüşe imza atarak 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 kazandı. Britanyalı raket, 2022 US Open’da 10 numaralı seribaşı Daria Kasatkina’yı mağlup ederek New York’ta sürpriz yapabileceğini daha önce göstermişti.
Stearns ise Austin’deki 2026 ATX Open kupasıyla kariyerinin ikinci WTA tekler şampiyonluğunu kazandı. 2022 NCAA tekler şampiyonu, 2023 US Open’da dördüncü tura kadar yükselmişti.
Dart eleme ivmesini ana tabloya taşıyabilecek mi, yoksa Stearns kendi seyircisi önünde kontrolü ele mi alacak?
