The US Open will stage a charity event for Ukraine just like last year, with Carlos Alcaraz , Elina Svitolina , and others taking part.
The war in Ukraine is still going on, and the need for help is as needed as ever. Just like last year, the 2023 US Open edition will see the event hold an exhibition event for the people in the country, which will see Elina Svitolina take part.
The Ukranian has been at the forefront of many US-based charity events over the year, including the one held at the Charleston Open earlier this year. She's been a vocal ambassador for her country, urging people to help wherever she's been.
The charity event will be part of the US Open fan week and will take place on August 23rd. Besides Svitolina, we'll also see Carlos Alcaraz, John McEnroe , Frances Tiafoe , and Christopher Eubanks take part. More players will be announced in the coming weeks.

Former Ukrainian tennis player Sergiy Stakhovsky has criticised Aryna Sabalenka's recent comments about stopping the Russia-Ukraine war.
Ahead of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix this week, world number two Sabalenka explained that she would want to war to end if possible. In addition, the Belarusian player said comments made by the nation's president, Alexander Lukashenko, were not helpful after the political figure praised the Wta player.
However, Sabalenka's attempts to support Ukraine and oppose the ongoing conflict have not convinced everyone. Former Ukrainian player Stakhovsky took to his official Twitter page to openly criticise Sabalenka's recent statement about stopping the war.
"Aryna Sabalenka - 'If there would be anything I could do to stop the war, I would do it but the reality is a cannot do anything'. The fact is that she even didn’t try to stop this war and she definitely has the platform to try.
