Roger Federer appeared at the US Open 19 times, reaching the final eight times and winning five titles, including an Open Era record of five straight (2004-08). His US Open finals record stands at 5‑3. He finished his career with 20 Grand Slam singles titles and 31 major finals overall.

Rafael Nadal played the US Open 16 times, reaching the final five times and winning four titles. Overall, he claimed 22 Grand Slam titles, including 14 French Open crowns, and contested 30 major finals.

Novak Djokovic has made a record 10 US Open finals in 18 appearances, winning four of them. At the Grand Slam level, he’s played 36 finals, winning 24 titles and finishing runner‑up 13 times.

Djokovic, currently world No. 6, is chasing a record 25th Grand Slam title. His last event was Wimbledon 2025, where he lost in the semi‑finals to Jannik Sinner and has since skipped both the Canadian Open and the Cincinnati Masters, choosing to potentially arrive in New York without any match play on hard courts.

At 38, the Serb appears to be prioritizing health and enjoyment off court, focusing only on Grand Slams. He’s often spoken about scaling back and relishing life beyond the tour.
