“The young singers performing at the US Open always captivate the crowd in Arthur Ashe Stadium,” said Gordon Smith, USTA Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer. “The casting call that we conduct to identify these singers is one of the first events that signals the US Open season is underway.”
The USTA will announce the final singer selections in mid-July. The winners will receive a US Open gift bag and tickets to their performance session—in addition to exposure in front of as many as 24,000 fans in Arthur Ashe Stadium.
