US Open Tennis: Key 2026 Updates
The US Open is making waves with innovative partnerships and preparations for its late-summer showcase at Flushing Meadows. A major announcement from Served's 5 Setter podcast reveals the USTA and US Open have partnered with Oura Ring, naming it the official wearable. Every 2026 main draw player will receive an Oura Ring to track recovery, sleep, and training load during the two-week Slam. This deal also positions Oura as a USTA coaching education partner, using ring data to develop young American talent. It follows controversies like the Australian Open's Whoop device bans earlier this year, while French Open and Wimbledon now allow wearables in 2026 play. The US Open is pushing boundaries, with eyes on whether Australia follows suit for 2027.
