Even before the men's and women's singles main draws kick off, the 2025 US Open is already smashing records.
US Open Fan Week welcomed 239,307 fans to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center over the last six days, a record for Fan Week, buoyed by unprecedented fan interest in the reimagined US Open Mixed Doubles Championship and more than 50,000 fans on the grounds for Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day.
This week-long festival of fun has grown over the years, from primarily drawing crowds to see the US Open Qualifying Tournament and the sport's stars of tomorrow, to a rocking atmosphere that combines tennis, music, entertainment and family-friendly activities.
The fun kicked off on Monday night with US Open Fan Week's first silent disco, bringing hundreds of people together to jam out to tunes spun by three world-class DJs in the Fountain Plaza as the sun set over Arthur Ashe Stadium.
One of the crown jewels of this year's Fan Week was the reimagined 2025 US Open Mixed Doubles Championship. The tournament drew two days of sellout crowds in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday and Wednesday, and an additional 20,000 fans watched mixed doubles for free in Louis Armstrong Stadium on Tuesday. Attendees got to see fan favorites Ben Shelton, Venus Williams, Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, Jessica Pegula, Madison Keys and several other top players compete for the $1 million awarded to the eventual champions, Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori.
Thursday continued with Stars of the Open, featuring Williams, Coco Gauff, Andre Agassi, John McEnroe, Andy Roddick and other star tennis players a chance to put their tennis skills and their personalities on display, with everyone mic'd up for their entertaining doubles 10-point tiebreaks on the sport's biggest stage. Two-time World Cup winner Alex Morgan joined the fun as well, and a portion of the ticket proceeds support the USTA Foundation, the national charitable arm of the USTA, which provides tennis and educational programs to under-resourced communities.
Friday night was the second-annual US Open Block Party featuring DJ D-Nice and Beverly Bond, the world-renowned DJ, author, entrepreneur and founder of Black Girls Rock. People gathered to enjoy the music, the vibes and the electrifying energy that permeates the grounds.
The week wrapped us with Saturday's Arthur Ashe Kids' Day, which drew a record 54,020 fans, breaking last year’s record of 47,875. The annual celebration of the life and legacy of tennis champion and cultural icon Arthur Ashe drew attendees of all ages to enjoy family-friendly entertainment and activities in the hopes of getting kids excited about tennis. Fans watched a Dude Perfect show in Ashe with Carlos Alcaraz and Tommy Paul, saw top players practice ahead of the US Open Singles Championships, enjoyed musical performances and player appearances on the Fan Week Fountain Plaza Stage, and participated in on-court clinics, interactive games and family activities for all.
Throughout the week, thousands of unique comic books celebrating Althea Gibson were distributed to attendees, and over 3 million unique devices accessed USOpen.org and the US Open app (59% increase over 2024 and highest Fan Week Total on record) and there were over 5.3 million visits to the US Open digital platforms during that time period (77% increase over 2024 and highest Fan Week total on record). Fan Access Pass reached more than 240,000 registrations and saw a 22% increase in unique users on the grounds.
The US Open main draw begins on Sunday and runs through Sunday, Sept. 7.
