- Wed 8/31 and Thurs 9/1 often have the most action on the outside courts
Top-seeded players start playing in the 2nd Round, receiving their 1st Round Bye - Alternative late weekend option: go for the 4th Round (Round of 16)

Most Popular Night Sessions at the US Open - for night owls
Pros and Cons of going at night:
- For the city that never sleeps - entry to the grounds starts at 6pm.
- Allows you to roam outside courts.
- Ensures you see the top players by adding one or two evening session tickets
- Frees up your day to enjoy the city indoors during the hot afternoon.
- The temperatures are cooler after the sun sets. But be sure to bring a jacket or extra layer.
- Crowds usually dwindle by midnight. Sometimes upon exiting, fans at Ashe may be generous and gift their seat ticket! Eager fans get the chance to sit much closer to the front.
