Serving Looks! 13 Hottest Tennis Players of US Open 2026
Let’s be real: Playing tennis at the highest level almost instantly makes you hot. So, if you were to watch any one of the dozens of US Open matches between now and when the tournament ends on September 13, there’s a solid chance at least one hottie will grace your screen. But if you want to curate a list of must-watch matches not necessarily by skill level, but by how easy each player is on the eyes, we’ve got you.
Over 100 men and women qualified for the tournament in 2026, so narrowing down this list was no easy task. We’re sure plenty of lookers slipped through the cracks — again, playing professional tennis, or any professional sport for that matter, instantly ups anyone’s hotness level. Regardless, these 13 competitors caught our eye. Even if they don’t win the US Open, at least they made it onto Swooon’s hottest players, which we think is a close second.
Ben Shelton
American player Ben Shelton is among the favorites to win this year’s tournament, and the 23-year-old is also one of our favorites in the looks department.
Aryna Sabalenka
A knockout on and off the court, 28-year-old Belrusian player Aryna Sabalenka is a top contender on the women’s singles side.
Arthur Fils
French player Arthur Fils, 22, was already knocked out of the tournament, but we obviously have to include him anyway.
Marta Kostyuk
It’s no wonder that 24-year-old player Marta Kostyuk did a photoshoot with Vogue Ukraine.
Matteo Berrettini
Matteo Berrettini doesn’t just serve looks on the court. The 30-year-old Italian has also modeled for Hugo Boss, which has featured him in campaigns and on the runway.
Coco Gauff
Coco Gauff, who’s another top contender at the 2026 US Open, is yet another tennis star who’s had her own Vogue cover. Again, it’s not a surprise as to why. We wish we looked that good playing tennis.
Lorenzo Musetti
Italy has yet another looker playing in the tournament this year: Lorenzo Musetti. The 24-year-old makes that headband work.
Qinwen Zheng
If 23-year-old Chinese player Qinwen Zheng ever stepped away from tennis, she could have a career in modeling. Just look at her Vogue China cover!
Frances Tiafoe
Frances Tiafoe, a 28-year-old US Open contender from America, is a hotshot on the court. He’s also just hot.
Maria Sakkari
Again, we marvel at how tennis players — including 31-year-old Greek player — manage to look so good mid-match.
Taylor Fritz
We weren’t surprised to learn that Taylor Fritz has walked the runway as well as the court. Sorry to break it to you, but the 28-year-old is seemingly off the market. He’s currently linked to Olivia Jade.
Naomi Osaka
Obviously, Naomi Osaka’s aura on the court is unmatched with her stunning (and famous) pre-game outfits. She makes the court look like a runway.
Carlos Alcaraz
Last but not least is one of the favorites to win the men’s singles, Carlos Alcaraz. The 23-year-old Spanish player clearly isn’t lacking in tennis skills or good looks.
