Following the Mixed Doubles tournament, the 2026 US Open gets going properly on Sunday when the singles action gets underway. In the men’s competition, Carlos Alcaraz is the defending champion but there are question marks over his fitness after being out for four months with a wrist injury.Despite the long absence, the Spaniard remains one of the favorites, especially after it was confirmed that world No. 1 Jannik Sinner would miss the tournament. With the Italian missing, it is French Open champion Alexander Zverev who will be the top seed in New York.The German is aiming to reach his third straight Grand Slam final but will expect plenty of competition from the likes of five-time champion Novak Djokovic, Italian ace Flovaio Cobolli, rising star Rafael Jódar and home hopes Ben Shelton and Taylor Fritz.On the women’s side of the draw, Aryna Sabalenka is the two-time defending champion and top seed. However, the Belarusian has struggled of late. Since winning the Miami Open in March, she has lost five out of seven matches that have gone to three sets and was beaten in straight sets by 20-year-old Sára Bejlek at the recent Cincinnati Open.Elena Rybakina could replace Sabalenka at the top of the rankings with a strong showing in New York but her participation is in doubt after sustaining an injury in Ohio. However, there are plenty of other contenders for the title.Coco Gauff enters on the back of winning the Cincinnati Open title; Iga Świątek has shown signs of returning to top form; Marta Kostyuk is one of the world’s most in-form players; while young American Iva Jovic and the increasingly popular Filipino Alex Eala have both stormed up the rankings.Check out all of the TV and streaming details below to find out how to watch US Open 2026 tennis from anywhere, starting with free options.
