The new Grandstand

The new grandstand court debuted on August 29 with the match between American Taylor Townsend and two-time US Open finalist Caroline Wozniacki. With 2,000 additional seats and new design that keeps most spectators out of the direct sun (especially appreciated at this tournament, where the hot weather can be brutal), the renovation garnered mostly raves from attendees and players alike.

‘This court is really awesome.’ It’s a beautiful court. It’s going to be one with a lot of special matches on it in the future,” said Wozniacki, after her first match there.
