CELEBRATING OUR NEW YORK STORY, 2026 US OPEN TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIPS

It’s always been more than the season’s final Grand Slam. Since the Open Era’s dawn, the US Open has annually extolled the enormity, attitude, diversity and determination of the “city that never sleeps.” Autumn’s annual harbinger — the US Open boastfully broadcasts to the world the deafening pulse of New York’s unapologetic fervor, patched together by the hopes, values and dreams of countless cultures who push it forward. Always forward.

In a year the city swore-in its first Muslim American mayor, and the Knicks lifted the NBA Championship trophy for the first time in 53 years — the 2026 US OPEN dedicates its fortnight to the celebration of our New York story. Nicole Kankam, Managing Director, Pro Tennis Marketing and Entertainment, USTA: “Celebrating our New York Story pays homage to everything and everybody that has built the unbreakable bond between the US Open and New York City, and the 2026 US Open will bring all of that to life.”

A LOOK BACK AT THE 2025 US OPEN … 75 YEARS OF BREAKING BARRIERS

Last year, the US Open celebrated ALTHEA GIBSON, a Hall of Famer who broke the color barrier in tennis. In 1950, she became the first Black person to compete in the U.S. National Championships — won back-to-back Singles titles in 1957 and 1958 — secured the World #1 ranking — and ultimately captured 11 total Grand Slam titles over the course of her career. A multisport athlete, in the early 1960’s she also became the first Black golfer on the LPGA Tour. Undeterred by the pervasive racism and prejudice of the age — like Jackie Robinson, Althea Gibson continues to inspire generations.
