The 2025 US Open is set to begin later this month, and four wild card entrants have been named.
The final Grand Slam of the season takes place in New York City, and the entry lists for the men’s and women’s singles draws will be at full strength. Up to eight players will fill the wild card slots in each event.
Four Players Receive 2025 US Open Wild Cards
The first two singles wild cards have been granted to the male and female winners of the American Collegiate Wild Card Playoffs tournament.
The USTA collaborated with the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) to set up this new event that took place last month at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida, which guaranteed to double the number of American collegiate wild card entries at this year’s US Open (the winners proceeded to the main draw while beaten finalists will earn a qualifying wild card).
Wake Forest’s tennis alum Stefan Dostanic won the four-player men’s tournament to qualify for the 2025 US Open. It will be his maiden Grand Slam appearance. The 23-year-old has an ATP ranking of No. 424.
Stanford University student Valerie Glozman won the women’s playoff tournament despite being the fourth seed. The 18-year-old has just completed her freshman year and will get a taste of main draw action at the US Open after three unsuccessful qualifying tries in the past.
Former World No. 4 Caroline Garcia has received a main draw wild card as part of the reciprocal wild card between the USTA and the French Tennis Federation. Although Garcia appears in the initial qualifying entry list, her wild card was confirmed on the FFT’s Instagram page. It will be Garcia’s final US Open before retiring from professional tennis.
In the same agreement, the French player to receive the US Open men’s wild card is 111th-ranked ATP player Valentin Royer. The 24-year-old earned his first Grand Slam this season when he famously led Stefanos Tsitsipas by two sets at Wimbledon before the Greek retired.
