Armstrong day sessions are the smart buy of the second week's run-up: genuine show-court stakes, sightlines Ashe cannot match, and tickets well below centre-court pricing. By Friday every remaining player is a seed or the qualifier who beat one, and day sessions leave your evening free for the rest of the city.

What to expect

Consecutive third-round matches from late morning; reserved lower-bowl seating with grounds access included; outer courts and the food village a short walk away.

Good to know

  • 7 train to Mets-Willets Point
  • Retractable roof — rain does not stop play
  • Ticket includes grounds admission
  • Bag limit 12x12x16
  • Order of play posts the prior evening on usopen.org
