Spotlight on

Rolex & the US Open

The US Open is the final Grand Slam® tournament of the tennis season. As a privileged partner of the sport worldwide for almost 50 years, Rolex has been the event’s Official Timekeeper since 2018.

 

Inaugurated in 1881, this tournament has been played on the hard surface at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, New York, since 1978. Among its 17 competition courts is the showpiece arena, Arthur Ashe Stadium, with a seating capacity close to 23,800, the largest in the sport worldwide.

The US Open is known for its electric ambience, a reflection of New York itself, “the city that never sleeps”. At this vibrant, dynamic event, the action also unfolds in the stands, where spectators are not afraid to give voice to their excitement. During matches, the energy emanating from the fans, the court and the city converge to galvanize the players.

 

Amid this electric atmosphere, matches at this Grand Slam® tournament have become the stuff of legend. The five consecutive titles Roger Federer won from 2004 to 2008 are etched in memory.

 

Among its other tennis Testimonees, Rolex counts a host of fellow US Open winners, namely: Rod Laver, Chris Evert, Stefan Edberg, Pat Rafter, Justine Henin, Juan Martín del Potro, Angelique Kerber, Sloane Stephens, Bianca Andreescu and Dominic Thiem. In 2022, Iga Świątek and Carlos Alcaraz added their names to this impressive list, with Coco Gauff following suit the next year.

 

They all embody technical precision and the quest to become a better version of oneself.
