Watching former world number ones trade points in a 14,000-seat stadium for free is not a thing that happens often. The exhibition format keeps it loose, so players talk to the crowd in a way they never would in a tournament match. It is also the easiest possible introduction to the grounds before the main draw crowds arrive.
What to expect
Gates open well before the 7pm start and seating is general admission, so arriving early gets you closer. The grounds have full food and drink service, and you can wander the outer courts and practice sessions before the exhibition begins.
Good to know
- A free Fan Access Pass is required to enter the grounds
- Seating in Louis Armstrong Stadium is first come, first served
- The grounds are reachable on the 7 train to Mets-Willets Point
- Bag size restrictions apply at the gates
- Outer courts and player practices are open the same evening
