Get the inside scoop on the US Open, from the glitzy Moët & Chandon suite to aspiring ball crew members! 🎾🥂
As the lights dimmed and the cheers of 957,387 fans echoed through the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, the US Open once again proved to be the ultimate arena for tennis aficionados and casual fans alike. With an electric atmosphere spanning 20 thrilling days, the Open attracted sell-out crowds eager to witness top-seeded players such as Novak Djokovic and rising stars like Carlos Alcaraz and Coco Gauff battling for the prestigious title. From the moment the first serve was struck, the excitement was palpable—fans were treated to nail-biting matches, moments of pure athleticism, and even the occasional cocktail in the lavish Moët & Chandon suite, which offered a perfect blend of tennis and luxury.
Preparations for the matches also include a behind-the-scenes peek at what it takes to be part of the iconic ball crew. SELF's fitness writer bravely took on the challenge of a mock tryout and quickly discovered the rigorous physical demands and teamwork that make the art of ball retrieval a finely tuned endeavor. It's not all just about fun, as aspiring crew members must show they can spring into action faster than a hawk at brunch pull-off some impressive court acrobatics. So, next time you see a ball whiz past your favorite player, just remember the unsung heroes hustling in the background!
The narrative doesn’t stop just with thrilling tennis—this year's Open also had its fair share of emotional farewells. American player Danielle Collins hinted that the 2023 Open might be her last Grand Slam as a competitive player. As she anticipated key matches with set to be heart-tugging moments, it was evident that the stakes were high both on and off the court. At the same time, Barbora Krejcikova, who recently claimed her Wimbledon trophy, shared light-hearted memories of her time there, leaving fans chuckling and reminiscing.
With the excitement of the US Open launching into high gear, fans have plenty to keep track of: from TV schedules to the thrilling match-ups featuring Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek. And just for an extra twist, the tournament showcased collaborations with Ralph Lauren and Aperol, ensuring that this year's event was not only a feast for the eyes but also for the palate, offering everything from stylish outfits to enticing cocktails—because, why shouldn’t tennis and drinks go hand in hand?
Fun Fact: Did you know that the US Open isn't just about the games? It also showcases a wide array of partnerships and collaborations! This year, Aperol and Moët & Chandon added a splash of style and refreshment that delighted guests watching courtroom antics. And here's a whimsical tidbit: Although the ball crew seem to have easy jobs, the average ball kid runs about 8 kilometers a day—it's like running a mini-marathon every time a match goes on! Talk about cardio on a whole new level!
