The 2024 U.S. Open kicked off in style at the U.S. Tennis Association’s Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City, where tennis excellence met high fashion.

As Coco Gauff and Novak Djokovic returned to defend their titles, the players’ moves weren’t the only things on display on the court.
