The US Open 2024 has been a riveting affair so far. Now, as the year’s last Grand Slam plays into its swansong, the tennis fraternity awaits the moment to celebrate its latest major champions.
Before we talk in detail about the tournament, here are a few key details at a glance:
- Date: 26 August to 8 September
- Venue: New York, USA
This year, both the defending champions in the singles divisions got axed in the tournament’s infancy, leaving the crown up for grabs for underdogs.
Fresh from his gold medal win at the Paris Olympics, Novak Djokovic was expected to go the distance and retain his crown. However, he crashed out of the US Open 2024’s men’s singles category after his third-round loss to Australia’s Alexei Popyrin.
Likewise, local hero Coco Gauff lost her chance to defend the title in the women’s singles category as her compatriot Emma Navarro became the giant killer in the fourth round.
Winning the US Open is more than the honour of becoming a Grand Slam champion. The winners in all the categories (across singles and doubles divisions) are handsomely rewarded for their tireless toils. This time, the American major competition has an improved payout structure compared to the previous editions.
