US Open 2025 Highlights: How Are Latinos Going?
The US Open 2025, the last Grand Slam of the season, has entered its decisive stretch in New York, and as always, the tournament has carried a strong Latino heartbeat. From the outer courts to the imposing Arthur Ashe Stadium, Latin American talent fought to make an impact on the stage that blends tennis prestige with the glamour and vibrancy of the Big Apple.
Although all Latino representatives have already been eliminated from the singles draws, their journey brought drama, surprises, and promising signs for the future. And in doubles, the dream is still alive.
Latinos Leave Their Mark in New York
Argentina once again led the regional contingent, with Francisco Cerúndolo, Tomás Etcheverry, Camilo Ugo Carabelli, Mariano Navone, Sebastián Báez, Francisco Comesaña, and Federico Gómez carrying the albiceleste banner. Though none advanced beyond the second round, each brought intensity to their matches. Rising star Sierra Solana, fresh off her Wimbledon breakthrough, also brought Argentine hopes to the women’s draw, though she could not overcome her opener against Sorana Cirstea.

Bolivia was represented by Hugo Dellien, who battled valiantly against Poland’s Kamil Majchrzak.
Brazil showcased both experience and youth: Beatriz Haddad Maia, the continent’s highest-ranked woman, pushed all the way to Round of 16, before bowing out to Amanda Anisimova. Teenage prodigy João Fonseca lit up the Grandstand in his debut, reaching the second round.
Chile also left its mark, with Nicolás Jarry and Alejandro Tabilo facing tough opening-round challenges against Jakub Mensik and Alexander Zverev respectively, and Tabilo reaching second round. Colombia brought its trademark intensity with Camila Osorio and Emiliana Arango in the women’s field, while Daniel Galán entered as a lucky loser in the men’s draw.

Peru, meanwhile, celebrated history with young Ignacio Buse, who came through qualifying to face local favorite Ben Shelton in a spirited debut. New faces with Latin roots added further intrigue: 16-year-old Julieta Pareja, the youngest player in the tournament, tested herself against Elena Rybakina, while Marcos Girón, Emilio Nava, and Leylah Fernández, finalist in 2021, carried their multicultural heritage proudly onto the courts.
No Singles Left Standing but Doubles Hope for Latinos at the US Open
The singles storylines came to an end sooner than many fans hoped. In men’s singles, Comesaña, Fonseca, Etcheverry, and Cerúndolo all reached the second round but fell short of the third, while Haddad Maia was the lone Latin woman to reach the round of 16 before bowing out.
Yet, the doubles competition still offers a beacon of hope for Latin America. On the men’s side, Brazil’s Fernando Romboli alongside John-Patrick Smith will clash with Nikola Mektić and Rajeev Ram in the round of 16. Argentina is strongly represented as well: Horacio Zeballos and Adam Pavlásek face Jan Zieliński and Marcel Granollers, Andrés Molteni and Máximo González will battle Robert Cash and James Tracy, and Camilo Ugo Carabelli with Tomás Martín Etcheverry meet Robin Haase and Constantin Frantzen.

In women’s doubles, Brazil’s Luisa Stefani has already advanced to the quarterfinals with partner Tímea Babos, where they will challenge Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe.
While singles glory may not be in the cards this year, the Latino spirit is still very much alive at the US Open. Whether in doubles runs, youth debuts, or the resilience shown on the biggest stages, the 2025 edition proves once again that Latin America continues to be a vibrant and essential part of tennis in New York.
