Fresh off another thrilling Grand Slam final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon, and three different American women reaching the first three Slam finals of the year – with two of them winning titles — the tennis world awaits what’s next at the U.S. Open.

The Open runs Aug. 18-Sept. 7 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The singles draw begins Sunday, Aug. 24.

And with the year’s final Slam set to expand to 15 main-draw competition days this year, singles main draw ticket sales are up +10% over last year, according to the USTA.

Additionally, there are record-breaking sales this year for the individual ticket Amex Presale, despite it being shortened in duration from five days to two.

Renewed full-tournament Arthur Ashe Stadium subscriptions – which are the equivalent of season ticket-holders or tickets bought for all sessions – are at 98-99% from 2024, the USTA said.

The two Arthur Ashe Mixed Doubles ticketed sessions, for which subscription tickets were not included, are each sold out of the Courtside and Loge levels. Tickets still remain in the promenade level starting at $25.

Among the superstar doubles teams entered into the field are Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu, Naomi Osaka and Nick Kyrgios, Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe, Aryna Sabalenka and Grigor Dimitrov, Ben Shelton and Taylor Townsend, Novak Djokovic and Olga Danilovic and Venus Williams and Reilly Opelka.

The Mixed Doubles event will run Aug. 19-20 – the week before the singles begins Aug. 25.

The round of 16 and the quarterfinals will begin at 11 a.m. on Aug. 19 in Ashe and Louis Armstrong Stadiums.

The semifinals and finals start at 7 p.m. on Aug. 20 inside Ashe Stadium only.

“I’m super excited about it,” Alcaraz said. “I think it’s going to be great. It was an amazing idea for the tournament.”
