Starting Monday, it’s the U.S. Open.
From August 26th to September 8th, the final Grand Slam Tennis Tournament of the season will bring Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, and others to the prestigious USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, NY.
Most of the major draws are played at Arthur Ashe Stadium, which has a seating capacity of over 23,000 and is considered one of the largest tennis venues in the world. The 2023 men’s singles champion was Novak Djokovic, while the women’s champion was Coco Gauff, and both were looking to repeat last year’s performance.
While tennis is the main interest, the Tennis Center has many other attractions and venues for spectators. Plenty is offered if you fancy food. There are plenty of beverages, too.
