How many aces were struck in singles at the 2026 US Open?

The story behind the answer

Players struck 3,296 aces in singles at the 2026 US Open.

An ace is a legal serve that the opponent cannot touch with the racket. It ends the point immediately for the server and is recorded separately from other winners, service winners, or points won after a rally.

The total combines the men’s and women’s singles competitions. The official tournament statistics also recorded 14,040 total winners in singles, a broader category that includes successful shots during rallies as well as some service-related winners.

Ace totals depend on many factors, including court speed, ball conditions, serve styles, match length, and the number of matches that reach five sets. The number should therefore be read as a tournament total, not as a record for one player.
