Semifinal Friday is the connoisseur's session: two men's semifinals back to back, usually the best tennis of the fortnight, at a fraction of what a final costs. The stadium is full but not frantic, and one ticket covers the whole programme.
What to expect
A long day session rolling into the evening, with the grounds, food village and practice courts open on the same ticket.
Good to know
- The 7 train to Mets–Willets Point puts you at the gate; the LIRR also stops there on match days
- Arthur Ashe has a roof, so the session plays through rain
- Bags are size-restricted — check the USTA policy before you travel

Common questions
Does one ticket cover both semifinals?

How do I get to Flushing Meadows?
Take the 7 to Mets–Willets Point, or the LIRR Port Washington branch on match days.
