Lendl will present the US Open trophy to the winner of the 2025 edition

Le 07/09/2025 à 19h56 par Adrien Guyot

A tennis legend, Ivan Lendl is a former world number one. Winner of eight Grand Slam tournaments in his career, the now 65-year-old claimed the US Open three times, in 1985, 1986, and 1987.

That’s not all, as the former coach of Andy Murray reached eight consecutive finals at Flushing Meadows between 1982 and 1989, inclusive. Having first won the title 40 years ago in New York, Lendl will be honored after the match to celebrate the occasion.

Thus, it will indeed be the former Czechoslovak champion, who became a naturalized American citizen in 1992, who presents the US Open trophy to the winner of the 2025 edition—who will be either Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner.

The two best players in the world will face off this Sunday on Arthur Ashe Court, and whoever emerges victorious from this 15th duel between the two men will lift the trophy for the second time in his career.
