1,274 wins. Set in 1996. Still standing. 👑🎾 Jimmy Connors holds the most match wins in men’s tennis history — a record no one has come close to touching in 30 years. Federer got within range at 1,251. Djokovic sits at #3 with 1,171 and counting, still adding to his total at 39. For perspective on how far ahead these legends are: today’s world No.1, Jannik Sinner, has ~358 career wins — a fraction of what it takes to even crack this top 10. The Open Era’s greatest volume record, ranked. Djokovic Sinner

🎾 BREAKING: The US Open just raised the stakes.

The 2026 men’s and women’s singles champions will each take home a record $5.5 million — the richest singles champion prize in tennis history.

That’s roughly $700K more than Wimbledon and almost 5× what the champion earns at Indian Wells or Miami.

The US Open’s total player compensation also jumps 20% to a record $108 million.

Who takes home the $5.5M this year? 👇

10 finals apiece — but only one of them has 6 trophies to show for it. Serena Williams matches Novak Djokovic’s Open Era record of 10 US Open finals appearances, yet she out-titled him 6-4. Chris Evert sits just behind at 9 finals (6 titles), with Steffi Graf and Martina Navratilova tied for third at 8. Across 58 years and 116 finalist appearances, the numbers keep fueling the GOAT conversation. 🎾👑

🏆 WHO OWNED NEW YORK? 🎾

Reaching a US Open final once is a career-defining achievement. Doing it 10 times is something else entirely.

🇷🇸 Novak Djokovic leads the Open Era with 10 US Open finals, ahead of Pete Sampras and Ivan Lendl with 8 each.

But some of the numbers behind the list are just as interesting:

🔥 Federer and Connors: 7 finals, 5 titles each
🔥 Nadal and McEnroe: 5 finals, 4 titles each
🔥 Borg: 4 finals — and somehow never won the US Open
🔥 Alcaraz: 2 finals, 2 titles — perfect so far
🔥 Sinner: already 2 finals

Which number surprises you the most? And who do you think will climb this list next? 👇

The right strings can change the way you play. 🎾

More control & spin? Polyester.
More comfort & feel? Natural gut.
More power & forgiveness? Multifilament.
Looking for value & durability? Synthetic gut.

There’s no “best” string—only the one that best fits your game, swing, and body.

Five players. Five titles each. The US Open’s multi-time champions list spans over 50 years — Connors and Sampras to Federer’s unmatched five-straight run (2004-2008), down through McEnroe, Nadal, Djokovic, Lendl, and Alcaraz’s fresh entry at 2.

Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev each have 1 US Open title. It takes at least 2 to make this list — could this be the year one of them joins it? 🎾🏆
