  • Resumen

  • The US Open Tennis Championships are set to undergo significant changes in 2025. The main draw will expand to 15 competition days, starting on Sunday, August 24, a day earlier than the traditional Monday opener, and concluding on Sunday, September 7[1].

    This change aims to offer more access to fans, with an additional 70,000 attendees expected to benefit from the extra day. The United States Tennis Association (USTA) has announced that the Sunday start will include six new ticketed sessions, featuring day and night sessions for reserved seats in Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium, as well as day session tickets for Grandstand reserved and Grounds Admission[1].

    In addition to the extended main draw, the US Open is revamping its mixed doubles format. The mixed doubles championship will now be held on August 19 and 20, during the week before singles play begins. The event will feature 16 teams competing over two days in shorter matches, with a $1 million prize for the winning team[3][4].

    The new format includes sets played to four games, no-ad scoring, tiebreakers at 4-4, and a 10-point match tiebreaker instead of a third set. Eight teams will earn direct entry based on their combined singles rankings, while eight wild-card entries will be awarded. The goal is to attract top singles players to participate in mixed doubles, thereby increasing fan interest and global attention[3][4].

    Despite the increased prize money, the changes have been met with criticism from some players, who view the new format as a "profound injustice" and "shocking"[4]. The USTA believes that the revamped format will create a more exciting and competitive event, but it remains to be seen how the changes will impact the tournament's overall success.
