Who was the oldest man to win a 2026 US Open main-draw match?

Gaël Monfils was the oldest man to win a 2026 US Open main-draw match.

Monfils won his first-round match at age 40. That victory made him the oldest man to win a US Open main-draw match since Jimmy Connors achieved the feat in 1992.

The result was notable because Monfils was competing against a field that included many younger established players and rising talents. His longevity has been a recurring feature of his career, especially at major tournaments.

This record concerns a main-draw match, not a qualifying match or a match played at any other tournament. It also refers to the oldest winner in the men’s draw, rather than the oldest player to appear in either singles draw.
