The Ultimate Guide For Fans

May · 2025

Each summer, New York becomes the epicenter of the tennis world as the US Open brings the game’s biggest stars—and their global fan base—to Flushing Meadows. With electric crowds, world-class competition, and an unmistakably NYC energy, the US Open is more than a tournament—it’s a cultural moment.

For those traveling in to experience the spectacle, Equinox Hotel New York offers the ultimate stay. Positioned in Hudson Yards with elite amenities, recovery-driven experiences, and a performance-first mindset, it’s the ideal home base for fans who want to see it all—and feel their best while doing it.

The US Open is one of the four Grand Slam tournaments in professional tennis, alongside Wimbledon, the French Open, and the Australian Open. Founded in 1881, it has become one of the most prestigious sporting events in the world, drawing over 700,000 fans annually and millions of global viewers.

Held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, the event spans two weeks and features both legendary matchups and breakthrough performances. Past champions include icons like Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic. What sets the US Open apart is its NYC edge—night matches under stadium lights, roaring crowds, and a fast-paced energy unlike any other Grand Slam.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the sport, attending the US Open is a bucket-list experience—especially when paired with a performance-aligned stay at Equinox Hotel New York.

The US Open is more than just watching matches—it’s an all-day affair filled with walking, sun exposure, and nonstop sensory stimulation. Staying sharp means being intentional about how you recover between sessions.

Hydration is key. Bring a refillable water bottle and stay ahead of fatigue.
Smart snacks. Think protein bars, fruit, and electrolyte packs—not heavy meals.
Take breaks. Whether it’s mid-day or post-match, schedule time to rest, reset, and recharge.
