Day 9 of the US Open in 2024 was truly bedazzling in action and stars, especially five-time US Open singles champion Roger Federer. As is always the case, a sizeable chunk of celebrities came to the US Open, with this year not being an exception either. The stands were rather glittering with famous faces, each adding their sparkle to the event. Be it iconic tennis legends or Olympic champions, there indeed was no dearth of stardom in the crowd.
Roger Federer: A Welcome Sight
The main attraction of the day was five-time US Open singles champion Roger Federer. Tennis legend Federer made a regal entrance at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in attendance and was a sight for sore tennis fans who were happy to have him back at the Open. Federer had a feeling-good time while taking in the quarterfinal action that included the thrilling contest between Aryna Sabalenka and Zheng Qinwen.
Ledecky and Clarkson Add Star Power
Another huge name at the Open on Tuesday was Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky. An athlete who has won just about everything possible in the pool, Ledecky showed up to take some time and watch tennis. She cheered on her fellow USA members, Taylor Fritz and Emma Navarro, as they advanced to the semifinals. Ledecky brought a touch of Olympic gold to the day’s events.
NBA star Jordan Clarkson was in attendance, adding just a pinch of the basketball world to the tennis action. Clarkson is good on the court, and one might even say he was having rather a good time amidst the high-energy atmosphere of the US Open. His presence made the mix of sports cultures at the Open seamlessly blended.
A Glamorous Day 9 at the US Open
Olympian gymnast Laurie Hernandez also showed up on the blue carpet. Besides her spellbinding performances in gymnastics, Hernandez was another star, adding glamour to the show. Along with the athlete, actress Kathryn Newton and personalities including the likes of Jeffrey Louis and Chiaka Ogbogu attended.
Then came the legendary singer Gladys Knight. The reason for her presence at the US Open spoke volumes about the event’s reach into every level of celebrity in the world. Be it to watch the matches or hobnob with other famous guests attending the event, Knight added that grace of music to the occasion.
Celebrities Shine at the US Open
Among the more unlikely sightings on the blue carpet was political figure Huma Abedin, who best showed the broad spectrum of attendees at the Open. Also joining the ranks of other well-known personas, like Deborra-Lee Jackman and Arianna Huffington, Abedin’s presence added to the appeal of the event outside of the sports world.
In all, Day 9 of the US Open had it all: perfect tennis with high-profile appearances to boot. This combination of thrilling matches and celebrities made it a day to remember for devoted followers of tennis and those interested in the star-studded side of the sport.
The excitement carried on Day 9 was a promise that the US Open, complete with celebrity appearances, would continue to provide action-packed matches.
