An especially star-studded moment took place in a doubles clash between John McEnroe and Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz and Andre Agassi; together, the four combined for a whopping 43 Grand Slam titles.The US Open’s official website confirmed that “A portion of proceeds from ticket sales will go to the USTA Foundation, the national philanthropic arm of the USTA. The USTA Foundation, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2024, provides tennis and educational opportunities to children through the organization’s National Junior Tennis and Learning (NJTL) network, sport-based development programs for under-served youth around the country.” It will be tough to top the combined star power in the two weeks to come, but the final major tournament of 2024 appears up to the task as Fan Week heads into the weekend.
