Two-time champion Naomi Osaka and fellow past U.S. Open winners Stan Wawrinka, Dominic Thiem and Bianca Andreescu were given wild cards into this year’s tournament.

Bianca Andreescu of Canada hits a return to Lesia Tsurenko of Ukraine at the National Bank Open in Toronto on Tuesday, August 6, 2024. Bianca Andreescu of Canada celebrates a point against Lesia Tsurenko of Ukraine at the National Bank Open in Toronto on Tuesday, August 6, 2024.

Osaka, who also left the tour for mental health reasons, lost in qualifying for this week’s Cincinnati Open. She wrote afterwardthat it was a strange feeling “missing balls that I shouldn’t miss, hitting balls softer than I remember I used to.” Wawrinka, 39, won the 2016 U.S. Open for one of his three Grand Slam titles. Like Thiem, he rose as high as No. 3 in the ATP rankings but has fallen outside the top 100. He will be making his 72nd appearance in the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament, fifth all-time.
