Flavors of the Open is part of this year’s Fan Week (August 22-27), a week dedicated to special tennis events and entertainment leading up to the start of the US Open Tennis Championships on August 28.
The U.S. Open attracts over 700,000 fans to Queens for the final Grand Slam tournament of the year. The U.S.-based tournament follows the Australian Open, the French Open and the prestigious Wimbledon. This year, the event will run from August 28 to September 10.
At Flavors of the Open, guests will be able to sample signature dishes—ranging from greenmarket-inspired meals to lobster rolls—from restaurants on-site at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. This year’s featured chefs include Alex Guarnaschelli (Fare), Ed Brown and Masaharu Morimoto (ACES), Kwame Onwauchi (ACES), Melba Wilson (Melba’s), James Kent (Crown Shy), David Burke (Mojito), Pat LaFrieda (Pat LaFrieda Meat Co.) and Josh Capon (Fly Fish).
On the court of the Louis Armstrong Stadium, attendees can watch doubles duo Bob and Mike Bryan show off their killer champion skills. The duo will be meeting fans following their performance, as will special guest Caroline Wozniacki—the former No. 1 singles player in the world.
The concourse level will also be filled with photo opportunities with US Open Tiffany trophies, entertainment, games, music and more.
Tickets for Flavors of the Open are $175 and available for purchase now. A portion of the proceeds will go towards the USTA Foundation, a not-for-profit organization committed to providing entry-level tennis programs to under-resourced communities.
