Day 5 of the 2025 US Open had all the ingredients fans crave—big names, high stakes, and just enough drama to keep everyone glued to their screens. With Jannik Sinner, Iga Świątek, and Coco Gauff all in action, the New York crowd was treated to a blockbuster Friday at Flushing Meadows.
First up, Sinner. The Italian has been steadily building momentum all season, and his match was the perfect showcase of why many tip him as a future US Open champion. With his laser-like groundstrokes and calm composure under pressure, he dispatched his opponent in straight sets, sending a clear message to the men’s draw: he’s not just here to play—he’s here to win. The Arthur Ashe crowd loved every forehand winner, and Sinner’s confidence looks to be peaking at the right time.
On the women’s side, top seed Iga Świątek continued her mission with ruthless efficiency. The Pole barely gave her opponent room to breathe, using her signature heavy topspin forehand to dominate rallies. Fans might have been hoping for a fight, but Świątek was in no mood for theatrics—this was business. After cruising into the next round, she remains the tournament’s clear favorite, though she’ll know tougher tests lie ahead.
Then came Coco Gauff, the American star carrying the hopes of the home crowd. Playing under the lights, Gauff delivered the kind of electric performance that makes New Yorkers rise to their feet. Her speed, defensive grit, and fearless shot selection lit up Ashe, as chants of “Coco! Coco!” echoed late into the evening.
Day 5 proved that the US Open is just heating up. With Sinner’s steady rise, Świątek’s dominance, and Gauff’s star power, the tournament is perfectly poised for fireworks in week two. If this is just the appetizer, fans better buckle up for a thrilling main course.
