The US Open has published its official 2026 entry list, with Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz occupying the first three positions in the men's field. Main-draw competition at the New York hard-court major runs from 30 August to 13 September.
The leading trio arrive after dividing this year's Grand Slam titles between them: Sinner won the Australian Open, Zverev triumphed at Roland Garros and Alcaraz lifted the Wimbledon trophy. Alcaraz is also the defending US Open champion and will seek a third title in New York.
The list also includes Novak Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev, Ben Shelton and Taylor Fritz, along with Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alex de Minaur. Their presence points to a deep hard-court field, but the entry list does not yet determine the draw or the final seedings.
The published positions reflect the entry list generated on 20 July. Rankings, participation status and seedings may change before the tournament because of results in the coming weeks or possible withdrawals.
From a sporting perspective, attention will centre on how the Sinner–Alcaraz rivalry translates to the hard courts and how Zverev responds after his first Roland Garros title. Djokovic and Medvedev retain extensive New York experience, while Shelton and Fritz carry significant home expectations.
