The American Open Player begins in Ashe Stadium

Player hallway at Arthur Ashe Stadium, the largest place in place at Open Open.

On the opening day of open 2025. years, the Top-Ranked Taylor Fritz took over Emilio Nava on the second largest court Billie Jean King, Louis Armstrong Stadium. There was no quick walk to get there.

Every match has a well orchestrated player, which comes from a desk in players in Arthur Ashe, the largest place on the spot. And while the popular American star Ben Shelton played on Ashs – just a few steps out of practice, and everywhere else on the site it contains a little more legs.

To get to Armstrong, Fritz and Nava traveled along the Ash Hallway, through the Commissioner, through the bundle, down the stairs, down the stairs and around the goods coming to the site. From there, they entered Armstrong at the ground level and passed the ball with the ball with the ball, because the ESPN cameras picked the walk. The players quickly left and immediate right into the player entrance that included a fist of stairs to reach the level of the court. The players were then waiting until Emceee called them from a dark tunnel to the bright sunshine Armstrong Court.

Arrival in Armstrong is one of the most difficult walks on the site, Christine Stromberg, director of the US Open Player Services, tells me. Players don’t have to work alone. On the way to the court, the escort of the player is leading the way, and then two players and security.

The mouth has between 30 and 35 paid accompanied players working on multiple shifts during the tournament. Stromberg says the job accompanies the player to find the most effective ash route to the court, while security is there to manage the audience. “The first priority is sure the players are safe and feel safe,” she says.

The farthest walk from Ashe is a court 17, about a seven-minute adventure in high-sided with the US traffic. The greatest can be walking Armstrong – some players can prefer public spaces to reach Armstrong, but it is a security challenge with high players like Fritz.

Indeed, however, field courts 15 and 16 are the most difficult. The courts are almost as far as court 17, but often crowded and without reserved players holding. When fans are to know that players are on the way, it can even get busy.

The four courts have tunnels. The tunnels in Armstrong and Grandstad are largely functional for simply entering the court (walking within before entering the installation section), while the Court is offering a way to prevent the players from the public as they are waiting for EMCEE to call them to the Court.

Ashe has a completely different experience, with a long hallway intended for ESPN production needs that lead to tunnels and “pressure is a privilege” sign, a quotation from the names of the site, Billie Jean King, at the exit.

In addition to Ashe, the next nearest court is court 6, just steps from players’ space in Ashe.

The busiest time of the day happens every morning, because most courts start playing with their court, because Stromberg says, when Stromberg played that he is a play match, one of the two mouthpieces to reproduce. Sometimes players hang out nearby, outside in the warm-up space, alone in the locker room or indeed in any number of players. The mouth often sends the court court and players in the courts with the longest outputs.

The occasional player can independently go to court, especially if they exercise near the morning match. It is allowed.

The active accompaniment of players will search for 25,000 to 30,000 steps a day daily daily daily daily. They just hope they don’t get lost near Ashe for loading.
