US Open Fan Week just got a big boost from fan favorites.
Amanda Anisimova, the 2025 US Open finalist, Madrid champion Marta Kostyuk, and rising men’s stars Arthur Fils and Alex Michelsen will complete the roster of players taking to the court for the Stars of the Open exhibition event.
The US Open exhibition event is set for Thursday, August 27th, at 6 p.m. inside Arthur Ashe Stadium.
The four players join Washington, DC Champion Alex Eala, Joao Fonseca, Iva Jovic and Learner Tien for the fan-favorite exhibition night. The exhibition will feature four, one-set matches, in the following order:
Amanda Anisimova vs. Marta Kostyuk
Joao Fonseca vs. Learner Tien
Alex Eala vs. Iva Jovic
Arthur Fils vs. Alex Michelsen
Stars of the Open will be televised on ESPN+ in the U.S., and distributed by US Open international broadcasters (to be announced).
A portion of the proceeds of Stars will benefit the USTA Foundation, the national charitable arm of the USTA. The Foundation supports the National Junior Tennis and Learning (NJTL) network, a nationwide group of more than 270 organizations that use tennis to help young people from under-resourced communities succeed in life.
