    About This Event

    The US Open Evening Session at Arthur Ashe Stadium stages the men’s and women’s first-round matchups under lights, treating competitive play as an evening program rather than a single show. The session’s craft is in its pacing: long rallies, pauses between points and the crowd’s attention are treated as part of the performance, with each night organized around matchups rather than a fixed lineup.
