Who are the former US Open champions in action at the 2024 edition in New York? Ft. Emma Raducanu, Naomi Osaka

The 2024 US Open is set to bring together some of the biggest names in tennis, including nine former champions, as the tournament kicks off on August 26 in New York. Among the notable returnees are Emma Raducanu and Naomi Osaka.

Raducanu, who made history in 2021 as the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam, is poised for another exciting run after a first-round exit last year. Osaka, a two-time US Open champion (2018, 2020), is also making a much-anticipated return to the court. Both players will be eager to recapture their former glory in Flushing Meadows.

In addition to Raducanu and Osaka, other top contenders include defending men’s and women’s champions, Novak Djokovic and Coco Gauff. Djokovic is looking to build on his 24th Grand Slam title, while Gauff, who made history as the youngest winner since 1999, will aim for back-to-back victories.

Fans will also be treated to performances by stars like Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Swiatek, and Daniil Medvedev. With a blend of emerging talents and seasoned champions, the 2024 US Open promises to be an exhilarating showcase of tennis excellence.
