The US Open Tennis Championships - statistics & facts
Each Grand Slam in tennis has its own specific character and charm. In the case of the US Open, a festive and chaotic spirit underpins the competition that is fully fitting with the backdrop of New York City. In keeping with the scale of the city that never sleeps, the competition’s venue, the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, features some towering stands, such as those at the Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong stadiums, which get filled to the rafters each year. Frequent nighttime sessions also add to the nocturnal, party atmosphere, with many spectators imbibing in the US Open’s signature cocktail – the Honey Deuce – with over 700,000 sold during the 2025 edition of the competition.
