Jessica Pegula, Frances Tiafoe, Ben Shelton, Danielle Collins and other American stars dazzle in Vanity Fair photoshoot ahead of US Open

Jessica Pegula, Frances Tiafoe, Ben Shelton, Danielle Collins, among other top American tennis players, turned up the glam quotient with their stunning attires in a recent photoshoot by Vanity Fair. In the pictures below, they can be seen dazzling in film noir fashion with a quaint blue abstract background.

Jessica Pegula played some scintillating tennis last week to win her second WTA 1000 tournament in Montreal, blitzing past Liudmila Samsonova for the loss of just one game. With her triumph, she announced herself as the best American prospect for a Grand Slam singles title currently.

The World No. 3 impressed in a cyan blue dress in the photoshoot.

Frances Tiafoe, meanwhile, has not been as impressive in 2023, but he can still take respite from the fact that he is the only Next-Gen player, apart from Pegula and Taylor Fritz, to be ranked in the top 10.

The likes of Tommy Paul (World No. 13) and Danielle Collins (World No. 34) are not too far behind the aforementioned trio. Paul and Collins upset top players at last week's Canadian Open en route to reaching the semifinals and quarterfinals, respectively.

While Paul embraced the classic 60s cinema look for Vanity Fair, Collins dazzled in a backless sparkly dress.

While Parks stunned in a long yellow dress, Shelton looked enigmatic as ever in a silky white shirt.

All in all, American players have been quite successful on both the ATP and the WTA tours lately, which gave Vanity Fair enough reason to highlight their journey by organizing a photoshoot.

Some of the top brands that were involved in the photoshoot were Versace, Gucci, Calvin Klein, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Jimmy Choo, Tiffany & Co., and Paco Rabanne.

Jessica Pegula has been making waves on both the singles & doubles circuits in 2023

Meanwhile, Jessica Pegula has been the poster girl for American tennis this year. The World No. 3 is having her career-best season in 2023, having accumulated an amazing 42-13 win-loss record on the WTA tour. Although the American has won only one title this year, she has reached the quarterfinals (or higher) at 10 of the 13 singles events she has played this year.

Apart from her singles success, she has also made plenty of in-roads on the doubles circuit, partnering fellow American Coco Gauff. The duo have won two titles in 2023, while finishing as the runners-up in two other tournaments.

Pegula and Gauff, however, took a break from doubles this week in Cincinnati to focus on their respective singles campaigns. While the American No. 1 will meet either Italy's Martina Trevisan or fellow American Bernarda Pera in the second round, seventh seed Gauff will face the winner between China's Wang Xiyu and Egypt's Mayar Sherif.
