Sasson comes up just short of calendar-year Slam at US Open

At the US Open, Israeli wheelchair tennis player Guy Sasson, ranked third, reached the semifinals of the quad singles tournament, ultimately losing to his doubles partner, Niels Vink. Together, Sasson and Vink, the top-seeded doubles team, aimed for a calendar-year Grand Slam after winning the Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon. However, they were defeated in the doubles final super tiebreak, ending their historic bid.

• Sergei Lysov competed in his second US Open in the men's wheelchair division, losing in the opening rounds of both singles and doubles.
• Seventeen-year-old Dan Brand made his US Open debut in the junior division, winning his first-round singles match before falling in the second round due to cramps. He also reached the second round in doubles.
• Boaz Kramer, CEO of the Israel ParaSport Center, praised Sasson and Lysov, stating, "A Grand Slam is the end of a very long and demanding road, and taking it takes dedication and commitment."
• Dan Brand's father, Shai Brand, expressed immense pride, noting, "Standing on the world's biggest courts with the Israeli flag on his chest is a true testament to his resilience, strength and unwavering spirit."
