2023 US Open

The 2022 United States Open runs from August 28 to September 10 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in the New York City borough of Queens.

ESPN holds the U.S. TV rights, which they have had since 2009 in some form and have held exclusively since 2015. Linear coverage airs on ESPN and ESPN2. All of the matches are available on ESPN3 or ESPN+.

The tournament is held over 17 courts. Arthur Ashe Stadium is the largest tennis-specific stadium in the world at 23,771 seats. Louis Armstrong Stadium has a capacity of just over 14,000 seats, followed by the Grandstand at 8,125 and Court 17 at 2,800. The remaining courts are creatively numbered 4-16.

Carlos Alcaraz of Spain is the top men's seed and Novak Djokovic of Serbia is the no. 2 seed; however, because Alcaraz is defending 2,000 ranking points as the 2022 champion and Djokovic was absent last year, Djokovic will jump into the top spot in the world rankings unless he defends his title and Djokovic loses in the first round. Daniil Medvedev (who is Russian but playing under a neutral flag), Holger Rune of Denmark and Casper Ruud of Norway round out the top five men's seeds.

Iga Swiatek of Poland is the top women's seed and defending champion. Aryna Sabalenka, who is Belarussian and playing under a neutral flag, is no. 2. There are two Americans in the top six seeds, with Jessica Pegula at no. 3 and Coco Gauff at no. 6. Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan and Ons Jabeur are Tunisian.

Draws include men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, mixed doubles, junior boys and girls singles and doubles, wheelchair singles and doubles, and several legends events.

Broadcast schedule

ESPN+ has all 17 courts streaming live daily from the beginning of play (11 a.m. EDT) to the end of play. Also, note that ESPN uses 11 p.m. as a placeholder for the end of play; in practice, play is rarely over by then.

Conventions

The color-coded schedule graphics below are based on an average set length of 40 minutes; a best-of-three match is blocked at an hour and 40 minutes while a best-of-five match is 2:45, based on the likelihood of multiple sets if each set is a coin flip. Suspended matches are prorated based on the score when they are stopped.

Each match's position on the draw is indicated by a number in double square brackets. Each pair of matches with the same number meets in the next round; these numbers start with 1 at the top of the draw and proceed down the list. For example, there are 32 second-round matches, so the last pair of first-round matches is marked with a 32.

In the text listing of commentators, each match is numbered sequentially when it first appears. Brief updates on other matches are indented. Angle brackets indicate split-screen coverage.

Draw

The draw was made on Thursday, Aug. 24. Thirty-two players are seeded in each singles draw, so two seeds cannot meet until the third round. Half of each draw will play Monday-Wednesday-Friday-Sunday-Tuesday; the other half, plays Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday-Monday-Wednesday. This year, the women's top half and men's bottom half play on opening Monday.
