Tournament

[edit]

The 2023 US Open is the 143rd consecutive edition of the tournament and will take place at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park of Queens in New York City. The tournament is being held on 17 Laykold hard courts.

The tournament is an event run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and is part of the 2023 ATP Tour and the 2023 WTA Tour calendars under the Grand Slam category. The tournament will consist of both men's and women's singles and doubles draws, as both doubles draws will return to standard 64 players, as singles players will remain in standard 128 person format in each category. There are also singles and doubles events for both boys and girls (players under 18), which are part of the Grade A category of tournaments.

The tournament is played on hard courts and takes place over a series of 17 courts with Laykold surface, including the three existing main showcourts – Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium and Grandstand.

Broadcast

[edit]

In the United States, the 2023 US Open will be the ninth year in a row under an 11-year, $825 million contract with ESPN, in which the broadcaster holds exclusive rights to the entire tournament and the US Open Series. For the first time since 2014, the US Open aired on broadcast television, as ABC televised selected weekend matches. ESPN is also the exclusive U.S. broadcaster for the Wimbledon Championships and the Australian Open.

Due to the recent Disney–Charter Communications dispute, ESPN has ended up providing complimentary access to some players and even on-air talent their access to the matches.[3]
