With the lull of early-season training, testing and tweaking behind us, the club ultimate season shifts gears to one of its most demanding events – the 2025 US Open. The field features all 12 2024 national semifinalists and a host of elite international teams looking to push their American counterparts in some exciting ways.
The tournament, which kicks off with “Fan Week” qualifying from August 18-23 and runs through September 7, takes place at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, New York. The main draw opens on Sunday August 24 with the first round of singles played over three days (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday) in addition to the usual two-day schedule.
It’s impossible to know what the scheduling will look like this year since the decisions about which halves of each draw play on Day 1 and when aren’t announced until after the final round of qualifying is finished (around Wednesday/Thursday Aug 21-22 2025). However, in the past, it has generally followed a similar pattern to other Grand Slams where the top half of the draws plays a Day 1 match while the bottom half goes into the Night session on Days 2-5.
With all the pieces in place, a new champion could emerge from New York this year. In the men’s division, #1 Boston Brute Squad has a strong team that looked good in a 15-8 statement win over #4 Washington DC Scandal at PEC East last month. And while the defense is still missing top-line defender Calvin Brown, the club is loaded with experienced defensive talent and incoming freshmen such as Raleigh transfer Ben Dameron and Aurora’s Anders Juengst who should provide significant depth.
