Tennis won’t be the only game played at the 2024 US Open: the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center announced Friday that its Chase Center will house a newly-minted Advantage Arena Gaming Zone with 13 playable stations for gamers of all ages.

Might Fortnite fan Naomi Osaka or gaming legend Daniil Medvedev stop by?

Debuting during the tournament’s annual Fan Week (August 19-25), the Advantage Arena Gaming Zone will provide an arcade experience for on-site fans with games ranging from tennis-themed versions of Fortnight and Roblox to more traditional tennis fare like TopSpin 2K25 and Tennis Clash.

"It's incredibly exciting for us to connect our growing presence in the gaming space with the on-site fan experience at the US Open,” said Brian Ryerson, the USTA Head of Product and User Experience, in a press release.

Fans will have the chance to compete for over 3,500 prizes, the release continues, “ranging from free copies of TopSpin 2K25 Standard Edition, a total of over 600,000 in-game redeemables on Roblox and other unique unlockables within Tennis Clash.”

“Not only are we reaching more fans by collaborating with some of the most popular gaming titles in the world,” said Ryerson, “the 'Advantage Arena' gives our fans on-site a number of new, fun ways to engage with tennis, while also potentially drawing new fans to the US Open."

The Chase Center, also home to the Chase Lounge, is located by the East Gate of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
