    About This Event

    The US Open is presented at Arthur Ashe Stadium as a live, time-bound competition that frames tennis in terms of procedure and ritual. This evening session features men's and women's first-round draws, where pacing — long rallies, the pauses between points, and the pressure of the knockout format — becomes the central material rather than spectacle.

Its “set list” shifts by date, moving from the men’s and women’s first rounds through the round of 16 and quarterfinals, with each night built around matchups rather than a fixed repertoire.
