Guernsey's is thrilled to announce the first major Auction devoted to the game of Tennis to be held in the United States. And what more appropriate - and exciting - venue could there possibly be for a Tennis Auction than at this year's US Open. Only a good lob's distance from Arthur Ashe Stadium, the public Preview and Auction will both be taking place within exhibition space in the handsome new Indoor Tennis Center smack in the middle of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, Queens, New York. The Preview is free of charge to all attending the Open (see below about Grounds Passes for those who don't have reserved tournament seating) and begins on the first day of the Open, August 31. The Preview will continue each day of the Open through the morning of September 11, the first date of the two-day Auction. The second Auction date is September 13, the last day of the Open and the day of the Men's Finals.

     

USTA Serves

The philanthropic entity of the United States Tennis Association, monitoring and promoting programs that enhance the lives of disadvantaged children and individuals with disabilities through the integration of tennis and education.

A portion of every dollar spent at this Auction will be going in support of USTA Serves.
