美国网球公开赛正在经历规模扩张。1赛事已从两周延长至三周，美国网球协会去年开始将单打主抽签改为周日开始。1协会首席执行官克雷格·蒂利表示希望赛事进一步扩展到"四周"。1
不过这一趋势引发了职业选手的广泛担忧。乌克兰11号种子玛塔·科斯蒂尤克表示："我只是希望他们不会在某个时点开始在周六进行，然后是周五、周四、周二、周三。"1加拿大选手德尼斯·沙波瓦洛夫指出："他们在寻找延长赛事的方式，我认为这对球员来说很艰难。"1他进一步表示，在更衣室里"没有人喜欢现在赛季的长度、三天开始的赛制和10天的Masters比赛"。1
日程混乱也给选手带来实际困扰。美国选手汤米·保罗曾以为蒙特利尔站决赛是"周三左右"进行，但本·谢尔顿实际上在周四赢得了冠军。1美国选手弗朗西斯·蒂亚夫在辛辛那提决赛后因需要更多休息，从混双中退出。1与此同时，Masters 1000级别赛事已扩展至10天，这进一步加重了职业选手的日程压力。1
The US Open has extended to three weeks, with the United States Tennis Association CEO signaling ambitions for further expansion 1. Craig Tiley expressed hopes that the event could grow to "four weeks" 1. The shift included moving the singles draw start date to Sunday beginning last year 1. Masters 1000 tournaments have similarly expanded to 10 days, compounding concerns about the overall calendar 1.
Professional players have voiced growing frustration with the lengthening tournament schedule and its toll on recovery time. Denis Shapovalov stated that "they are looking for ways to extend the event, and I think it is very difficult for the players" 1. In the locker room, he added, "I don't think anyone likes the length of the season now, the three-day start format, and the 10-day Masters matches" 1. Marta Kostyuk, Ukraine's 11th seed, expressed worry about the trajectory, saying "I just hope they won't at some point start playing on Saturday, and then Friday, Thursday, Tuesday, Wednesday" 1. Tommy Paul highlighted the scheduling confusion, noting that Montreal's final was supposed to be "around Wednesday," when Ben Shelton actually won the title on Thursday 1. Frances Tiafoe withdrew from mixed doubles after the Cincinnati final, citing the need for additional rest 1.
