When you think of the US Open, you probably picture intense matches and thrilling serves. But even if you’re not much of a tennis enthusiast, there’s another big draw: the opportunity to spot some famous faces in the stands.
The annual tournament is a major summer spectacle (and celebrity magnet) for a bunch of reasons. For one, it’s pretty cool to watch top players from around the world compete for a chance to win a Grand Slam title—and $75 million in prize money. But it’s also a lot of fun to dress up in tennis chic (or #tenniscore, as TikTok calls it), sip on a refreshing Honey Deuce cocktail (the US Open’s signature drink), and soak up the lively “Go sports!” atmosphere, even if you’re not keeping score. (Plus the viral success of Challengers has definitely added to the hype.)
So it’s no surprise that hundreds of thousands of people—including a slew of celebs—flocked to Flushing Meadows once again this year to get in on the high-stakes action. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the biggest names spotted in the stands at the 2024 US Open so far.
