Federer vs Nadal at French Open Semi-Finals
Ready for their Rematch at US Open?

Want to see the Federer-Nadal rematch at a US Open match this Fall in NYC?

With their current rankings and today's French Open result:
If they meet at the US Open, the most likely scenario will put both men at the Semi-Finals of the US Open.

Friday, September 6th at Ashe Stadium. As of 6/7/19, there are still a few tickets on sale for as low as about $190-$250.


Friday, Sept 6th Deal. Get 2 Semi-Finals plus Men's Doubles Final for the price of 1 ticket.
This semi-final ticket is very popular because it also gives you the other Men's Semi-Final which should feature Novak Djokovic. All 3 players are both playing very well, injury-free and show no signs of stopping. Finally, if you are a doubles fan, the ticket will also give you the Men's Doubles Championship match plus both Men's Semis.

Federer's next US Open Slam Chance.
For Federer fans, he has had the upper hand in the last 5 out of 6 meetings (not on clay) over Nadal and might actually be the favorite to win the US Open this year. On the US hard courts, Federer has won more US Open titles than Nadal and Djokovic combined.

*Free* US Open Tickets, Tips for VIP Fans  when you Sign Up

The Art of Tennis Travel
After traveling a few weeks in Europe for the clay-court season, I really learned to appreciate tennis in a few different languages, cities, and cultures. You realize that the love of the sport still binds us all universally.

When traveling to a tennis event, your main expense will be:

• Tennis Tickets (pick day or night sessions; plus grounds pass days)
• Lodging (hotels or AirBnB's) - try to book at least 1-2 months ahead!
• Transportation - get flights to NYC first; take the 7 train / LIRR or Uber (avoid parking)

If you are seriously considering going to the US Open this summer, I would highly encourage you to sign up for my free US Open email list today. It has all the US Open tips, deals and even some 2-for-1 ticket promo codes you should have before frivolously spending your money at tourist traps*. You will receive a series of step-by-step emails every few days and also be alerted when a great last-minute deal pops up.

My Expert Insider Advice - why follow me?

I have been going to the US Open for over a dozen summers now, seen all 4 grand slams, teach tennis professionally with the USPTA and work as a freelance tennis media photographer/reporter at pro tennis events around the world so I can share my years of experience on the tennis tour.

Why are you giving away all this info for free?

Companies like Ticketmaster provide me special affiliate links and limited-time offers that I share here. For each link that you click, I am compensated with a small commission percentage to help pay for my referrals.

When you purchase tickets from my links, it helps me pay for my tennis travel blog, and so I can keep writing free articles and advice to fans like you because you were referred by Tennis Bargains. Plus, we give away free tennis tickets and donate yearly to USA charities. Visit us on Facebook to see some of our recent European tennis trip experiences.

Your final price will be the same whether you buy it from my website or elsewhere, but I sincerely appreciate the VIP US Open fans who come back every year.

Spreading the Tennis Love

If I was able to help even one fan this year find a good deal or recommendation, I would be very happy. We always really appreciate your review and feedback via Facebook messages and email replies. I make sure to read each and every single one from my followers. Thank you!

US Open Tennis Dates:

It spans one week *before* Labor Day until one week *after* Labor Day.

Technically, it is almost 3 weeks if you count the free qualifier matches that play the last week of August.

Priority #1: Narrow your Travel Option and Dates

Flights are generally cheaper mid-week (Tues-Thurs). LGA is the closest airport, with a 15 min taxi ride away. You can also take Amtrak to Penn Station and the LIRR to Queens-Metts station. Driving, you will have to factor in about $20 for parking each day unless you own a Mercedes.

Put it on your Calendar

I have found that the best way to start budgeting for a tennis vacation is to pull out a calendar and then figure out which days you can go. From there, you will likely need to ask for time off from your job or make sure your kids are off school. Plus it is best to share your idea with a friend or two early to make it a true tennis road trip and split some expenses!

#1 Most Action-Packed Tennis Option = Labor Day Weekend (AM + PM)

Getting time off work and school for this end-of-summer long weekend (Aug 30-Sept 2) is easy. The crowds of fans make it a very festive and popular experience. Compare prices between StubHub Fan  Tickets and Ticketmaster Resell to get the best final price.

The tournament always has great matches during the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday sessions (day and night). Usually, there are no upsets yet in the draw, so the Big 3 area usually plays back to back these days.

If you can splurge a little, I would recommend getting Loge or Courtside seats for one session featuring your favorite player. Just be prepared to spend at least $300-$600+ per ticket, but it will be a very memorable experience.

I think this is well worth it for international travelers because they are already traveling so far. To watch Federer play at night from 10-20 meters away at a Grand Slam is magical. You will be surrounded by Hollywood celebrities and enjoy a very entertaining evening.

#2 Best Value Full-Day: Weekday first week Arthur Ashe Day Sessions

Go during the 1st week (Aug 26-30) and buy either the cheapest Ashe Ticket or any Grounds Pass ~$70-$90 for the Day session only. This will give you at least 6-8 hours of tennis if you are willing to roam. You can stay at the outside courts even after the night sessions starts and see some fireworks.

This is the all-you-can-eat Buffet Option for hardcore tennis fans...
