The final major tournament of the tennis calendar is here.
The 2024 US Open is set to get under way Monday, as crowds and tennis enthusiasts converge on Flushing Meadows in Queens, New York.
This year’s Open is also noteworthy because it marks the end of a fairly hectic stretch in tennis. After competing in Wimbledon – which concluded in mid-July – many of the world’s top players then represented their respective countries at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Now, with the Summer Games a few weeks in the rearview mirror, players are gearing up for another grueling tournament, one that is often played in hot conditions under the New York summer sun.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2024 US Open:
The 2024 US Open begins Monday, August 26 and will run for nearly two weeks, with the men’s singles final concluding the event on Sunday, September 8.
The 2024 US Open will be broadcast on ESPN and can be streamed on the ESPN app and WatchESPN.com.
The US Open will be held at the iconic USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center at Flushing Meadows in Queens, New York.
