A Grand Slam final in the largest tennis stadium in the world is the biggest sporting occasion New York hosts all summer. Ashe holds nearly 24,000 people and the noise on a final point is unlike anything else in the city. Whoever wins, you were there for it.
What to expect
Gates open several hours before play. Grounds food and bars operate all day, and a ticket for the session covers the outer courts too. Expect airport-style security at the gates.
Good to know
- Arthur Ashe Stadium has a retractable roof, so play continues in rain
- The 7 train to Mets-Willets Point is the direct subway
- Bag size limits are enforced at entry
- A session ticket also gives access to the grounds
- Arrive early — security queues build before a final
