Who has won the US Open? All-time tennis singles winners

Coco Gauff won the US Open women's singles title in 2023 at age 19, becoming the youngest American champion at the event since a then-17-year-old Serena Williams in 1999. The victory marked the first Grand Slam title of Gauff's career and jump-started a busy year for the young tennis star.
Ten months after her win in Queens, New York, Gauff became the first tennis player to be an Olympic flag-bearer for the United States at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. She then earned her first Wheaties box cover a month later.
Two more singles players will join Gauff on the list of US Open immortals during the 2026 event at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Check out the all-time men's and women's singles champions of the annual Grand Slam tennis tournament below:
