![]() To be honest, while the tennis was great it was almost overshadowed by the amazing American Express suite that we were guests in. I was at his first grand slam title when he won the Australian Open in 2014 over Rafael Nadal in Melbourne. We also were entertained by the men’s Quarterfinal match between 2009 US Open Champion Juan Martin Del Potro and Stan Wawrinka a two time grand slam champion. ![]() Serena pulled it out in an exciting 3 set classic! It was honestly one of the best women’s matches I’ve ever attended live. ![]() Simona Halep in a women’s Quarterfinal match that was pretty epic. I also recently attended the Bottle Rock Music Festival in Napa Valley as an SPG Moment which was fantastic.įor the main event it was Serena Williams vs. The event as always was moderated by one of the Jensen brothers and to be honest I am not exactly sure which is which but they’re both really nice! I feel fortunate to be able to attend each year and love that the SPG Amex card does these types of events and moments for loyal card members-not just at the US Open but also throughout the year. It’s always an awesome event and this year’s guest was Chris Evert, 18 time grand slam champion and super nice lady! In years past it has featured Monica Seles, Andre Agassi, Billy Jean King and others. It was extra cool because Monica Seles and Pete Sampras consulted on the project and actually spoke to you! It was pretty cool and I definitely suggest checking it out!Īfter we headed over to the SPG Amex Card Member appreciation event. You get to virtually play on center court and feel what it’s like to walk down the tunnel onto the stadium court. This was a really cool thing to check out. The first was the new virtual pro walk thru in the fan experience zone. For the past 5-6 years I’ve been going with The Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card from American Express as part of my valued partnership with my favorite credit card! This year was the best year yet at the US Open with SPG Amex!Īs the new roof opened on Arthur Ashe Stadium at the US Open in a sign of the times in Queens, a few new things happened with my experience at the US Open with SPG Amex. ![]() Living in New York City, I’ve been going to the US Open for as long as I can recall. I’ve also been to most of the Masters 1000 events around the world and can talk tennis history with anyone. I mean I really love tennis! I’ve been to the final of 3 of the 4 grand slam tournaments and plan to go to the Wimbledon final next year. ![]()
