A fusion of energy
The US Open is known for its electric ambience, a reflection of New York
itself, “the city that never sleeps”. At this vibrant, dynamic event, the action also
unfolds in the stands, where spectators are not afraid to give voice to their excitement. During
matches, the energy emanating from the fans, the court and the city converge to galvanize the
players.
Rolex Testimonees and the US Open
Amid this electric atmosphere, matches at this Grand Slam® tournament
have become the stuff of legend. The five consecutive titles Roger Federer won from 2004 to 2008 are
etched in memory.
Among its other tennis Testimonees, Rolex counts a host of fellow US Open
winners, namely: Rod Laver, Chris Evert, Stefan Edberg, Pat Rafter, Justine Henin, Juan
Martín del Potro, Angelique Kerber, Sloane Stephens, Bianca Andreescu, and Dominic Thiem. In
2022, Iga Świątek and Carlos Alcaraz added their names to this impressive list, with Coco Gauff
following suit the next year.
They all embody technical precision and the quest to become a better
version of oneself.
The tournament of trailblazers
The US Open is fertile ground for innovation in tennis. From introducing
the tiebreak and scheduling games at night, to implementing Hawk-Eye Live – a digital
refereeing system that makes line calls immediately – every effort is made to ensure the
tournament remains as compelling as ever.
Rolex and tennis: partners for almost 50 years
Since Rolex first partnered with The Championships, Wimbledon, in 1978,
the brand has enjoyed a privileged relationship with tennis, one founded on a shared philosophy: the
perpetual quest for excellence, a passion for precision and innovation, the elegance of movement,
unwavering effort, a respect for tradition and the drive to always push beyond personal limits.
