Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek are the defending champions in their respective events. For the first time since 2021, Swiatek has arrived in the States without winning a title in a season.

The five-time Grand Slam champion clinched the trophy in 2022 and 2024, while the Spaniard is a two-time defending champion and will aim for a three-peat to join Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. Alcaraz could schedule a rematch of this year’s Australian Open quarterfinals if both he and Djokovic reach the quarterfinals.
