Rolex and Tennis
ROLEX & THE US OPEN
As a vital partner of tennis, Rolex has been Official Timekeeper of the US Open since 2018.
Inaugurated in 1881, this tournament has been played on the hard surface at Flushing Meadows, New York, since 1978. Among the 17 competition courts is the largest in the world, Arthur Ashe Stadium, with a seating capacity of more than 23,500.
A FUSION OF ENERGY
The US Open is know for its electric ambiance, a reflection of new york itself, “the city that never sleeps”. At this vibrant, dynamic event – played at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center – the action also unfolds in the stands, where spectators are now 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.
ROLEX TESTIMONEES
AND THE US OPEN
Amid this incandescent atmosphere, matches at the Grand Slam have become the stuff of legend. The five consecutive titles Roger Federer won at Flushing Meadows from 2004 at 2008 are etched in memory.
Among its other tennis Testimonees, Rolex counts a host of fellow US Open winners: Rod Laver, Chris Evert, Stefan Edberg, Pat Rafter, Justin Henin, Juan Martin del Porto, Angelique Kerber, Sloane Stephens, Bianca Andreescu and Dominic Thiem. In 2022, Iga Świątek and Carlos Alcaraz added their names to this impressive list.
They embody technical precision and the quest to become a better version of oneself.
THE TOURNAMENT OF TRAILBLAZERS
The US Open is fertile ground for innovation in tennis. From introducing the tiebreak and scheduling games at night, to implementing Hawk-Eye Live – a digital refereeing system that makes line calls immediately – every effort is made to ensure the tournament remains as compelling as ever.
