Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, and Coco Gauff have learned their potential paths to the 2025 US Open title as the women’s singles draw has been revealed.
The top eight seeds in the women’s singles event are: Sabalenka (1), Swiatek (2), Gauff (3), Jessica Pegula (4), Mirra Andreeva (5), Madison Keys (6), Jasmine Paolini (7) and Amanda Anisimova (8).
World No 1 and defending US Open champion Sabalenka is joined in the top half by Pegula, Andreeva and Paolini.
The three-time major winner will start her tournament against Rebeka Masarova and could face Nuria Parrizas-Diaz or Polina Kudermetova in round two before a possible third round meeting with 31st seed and 2021 runner-up Leylah Fernandez.
The Belarusian could take on 14th seed Clara Tauson or 19th seed Elise Mertens in the last 16, while Paolini or ninth seed Elena Rybakina — who are slated to meet in the fourth round — are her potential quarter-final opponents.

Emma Raducanu will begin against a qualifier and will play Veronika Kudermetova or another qualifier if she reaches the second round. The 2021 US Open winner could then meet 2022 Wimbledon champion Rybakina in a blockbuster third round encounter.
In the second quarter, 2024 US Open runner-up Pegula and teenage star Andreeva are projected to meet in the last eight, with the winner of this potential matchup due to face Sabalenka in the semi-finals.
