The US Open has gifted luxurious presents to every player competing in this year’s tournament, including products from huge brands.

The New York tournament is the final Grand Slam event of the year, as the likes of Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, Carlos Alcaraz, and Jannik Sinner look to end on a high.

John McEnroe has praised this year’s US Open, which has seen Sinner and Alcaraz race into the semi-finals, dropping just one set between them.

No matter the result of the US Open, every player was gifted an impressive selection of gifts adding up to £1000.

Doubles star Neil Skupski took to TikTok to share the insides of the iconic gift bag he received from the American Grand Slam.

Skupski, who is still in the tournament alongside his partner Joe Salisbury, showed off several products in the social media video.

The 2023 Wimbledon winner showed off initial-engraved Birkenstocks, as well as Beats headphones, Ralph Lauren perfume, and US Open-branded merchandise.

The star also showcased Aora Mexico Solid Lip Serum and the US Open ‘Honey-Deuce’ candle, which he described as smelling nice.

Finishing off the reveal video, Skupski showed off a Tiffany bracelet, which he gifted to his partner, and a Hatch restore smart sleep clock.

Every player has been gifted the goody bag, meaning the top stars on the tour have also got their hands on the products.

Andy Roddick picks his US Open champion between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner

Many fans and pundits expect Sinner and Alcaraz to meet in the US Open final, but former pro Andy Roddick has gone one further and predicted the tournament winner.

“I have Sinner over Alcaraz,” explained the former World No. 1 on his Served podcast. Carlos has maybe been playing better in the tournament, but that doesn’t matter, it’s about the match-up for me.”

“They’re both playing well, they’re both striping the ball, we’re not worried about either of them,” said Roddick about the Spaniard and Italian.

Sinner plays Felix Auger-Aliassime in the semi-final, while Alcaraz is set for a tantalising match with Novak Djokovic.
