Guests were treated to two women's matches: Aryna Sabalenka against Jessica Pegula, and Coco Gauff versus Elena Rybakina. Attendees relished not only the matches but also the fashion seen on and off the court, including Gauff's striking all-yellow New Balance outfit. Many guests in the suite showcased stylish attire, including Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who wore a piece from the Polo Ralph Lauren x U.S. Open collection, the tournament's official outfitter.
The U.S. Open venue featured various brand activations, pop-up shops, and popular food items. Attendees in the Cadillac Suite indulged in numerous Honey Deuce cocktails and boxes of Coqodaq chicken nuggets, served with caviar.
