As the greatest tennis players in the world get ready to assemble in New York for the season's last Grand Slam, excitement for the US Open 2023 is growing and taking shape rapidly. Carlos Alcaraz of Spain and Iga Swiatek of Poland, two of the competitors, are heavy favourites to repeat as winners.
While attention is focused on these defending champions, it's crucial to not discount the American talent in the mix, such as Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Frances Tiafoe, and Taylor Fritz, who are all expected to receive enthusiastic backing from the home audience. It's worth remembering that the last American winners in the US Open were Sloane Stephens in the women's division in 2017 and Andy Roddick in the men's division in 2003.
