US Open 2025 men's singles seeds: Jannik Sinner at the top, followed by Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev

The seedings for the men's singles draw at the 2025 US Open were recently announced, with defending champion Jannik Sinner as the top seed, followed by Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev as the second and third seeds, respectively. The last Major of the year is slated to begin on August 24.

This is the sixth straight Slam where Jannik Sinner has been the top seed, as the Italian gets ready to defend his New York crown. He has already won two of the three Majors this year and was one point away from winning a third. However, he does come into the tournament with some fitness concerns, following his retirement at the Cincinnati Open final against Carlos Alcaraz.

Carlos Alcaraz, on the other hand, has dominated the men's Tour this year. Including the Cincinnati title he won, the Spaniard has won six titles this year, including his French Open title, where he won a miraculous final against Jannik Sinner. Alcaraz is a former champion at the US Open, as he had his Grand Slam breakthrough in New York, winning his maiden Major in 2022 at this Slam. The way the ATP rankings are poised currently, the No. 1 ranking is up for grabs between Sinner and Alcaraz at the US Open.

Alexander Zverev is the third seed at this year's US Open, with the German player also coming in with slight fitness concerns, as he was not at his physical best during his last match against Alcaraz in the Cincinnati semifinal. Zverev is a former runner-up in New York, losing the US Open final back in 2020 against Dominic Thiem.
