The US Open will change into a 15-day match in 2025, starting on a weekend for the primary time within the Open period.
This 12 months’s foremost draw at Flushing Meadows will begin on Sunday, 24 August and finish on Sunday, 7 September.
It turns into the most recent Grand Slam to announce a Sunday begin. The Australian Open expanded to a 15-day match in 2024, after the French Open took that call in 2006.
That leaves Wimbledon as the one remaining Slam occasion to retain the normal Monday begin.
In making the change, the US Open stated the transfer would permit “extra fan entry than ever to the primary draw following three consecutive years of record-breaking attendance”.
The match estimates the enlargement will permit entry for a further 70,000 spectators.
Males’s and ladies’s singles first-round matches might be performed throughout the opening three days in New York, from Sunday to Tuesday.
The Australian Open took the choice to change into a 15-day occasion in an try to scale back the variety of late-night finishes at Melbourne Park.
