From the record-breaking prize money to the record-setting crowds, there is nothing in tennis quite like the US Open. Part of what makes this event so special is the US Open Fan Week, where fans can enjoy a wide variety of special events including star-studded concerts, interviews with legends, happy hours, featured practices with the biggest names in the game, and the US Open qualifying tournament. The best part is, entry is completely free.
The US Open qualifying tournament features some of the best players in the world as they fight to earn their way into the main draw. The qualifying tournament itself is the fifth biggest tennis tournament in the U.S. and offers a total prize purse of $3,000,000. The qualifying offers some of the most competitive and high stakes tennis out there: players who make it to the main draw guarantee themselves a $58,000 check.
During the day, the intimate Grandstand court will host to the world’s top players as they gear up for the main event, complete with a host emcee as well as a D.J. At night you can enjoy a blast from the past as tennis legends including Andy Roddick, John McEnroe, Jim Courier, Martina Navratilova, Tracy Austin, and Lindsay Davenport take the court for exhibition matches.
In addition to the tennis, US Open Fan Week offers free live concerts featuring Lany, country music star Brett Eldredge, and Grammy-award winner Leon bridges. Who says no to a free concert?!
