“I am proud today, almost two decades later, that the U.S. Open continues to welcome all tennis fans, providing access and the opportunity to see the greatest athletes in our sport,” she said in an email.
“I have heard there are plans underway to improve the conditions at Arthur Ashe Stadium, but I am not involved in those discussions.
Any time we raise a dollar, from any source, 70 percent of that money goes back into community tennis.”Ashe is the world’s largest tennis stadium, with a capacity of almost 24,000.
It currently features two tiers of luxury suites, where fans have access to specialty foods, beverages, restrooms and choice views of the court.
The U.S. Open is the U.S.T.A.’s immensely lucrative bake sale.
