Welp— Carlos and Serena are out of the mixed doubles at the US Open. (See report below by Stephen Whyno for Associated Press).
I did not realize the event mixed doubles tournament had already started, alongside the qualifying rounds. It is ‘Fan Week’ this week, before the main tournament starts in on Monday.
It is more expensive than ever before to attend the event in person.
Explains Google AI Overview:
‘Ticket prices for the 2026 US Open are soaring due to a massive surge in demand, a booming resale market, and stadium redevelopments geared toward high-yield corporate hospitality.
Marquee sessions sold out months in advance during the initial May presales, leaving limited inventory.
Opening-day grounds passes with a $65 face value have resold for over $360.
High-profile sports and entertainment convergence in New York City has driven average household incomes of attendees past $262,000, creating an event heavily tailored toward affluent buyers and corporate spenders.’
