The Era of "Super Saturday" at the US Open

Before 2015, the US Open followed a tournament schedule unlike any other in sports: Super Saturday.

On the second Saturday of September, fans were treated to both men's semifinal matches back-to-back, followed immediately by the women's singles final under the lights.

While it made for incredible television, it was one of the most grueling physical tests in tennis history. A men's player could battle through a five-set, four-hour semifinal on Saturday afternoon and have less than 24 hours of recovery before walking back onto Arthur Ashe Stadium for the championship final on Sunday afternoon.

The schedule has since evolved to allow for proper recovery days, but Super Saturday remains one of the most legendary chapters in modern tennis lore.

La era del "Super Saturday" en el US Open

Antes de 2015, el US Open seguía un calendario de torneo como ningún otro en los deportes: el Super Saturday (Súper Sábado).

El segundo sábado de septiembre, los fanáticos disfrutaban de ambas semifinales masculinas de forma consecutiva, seguidas inmediatamente por la final individual femenina bajo las luces.

Aunque era un espectáculo increíble para la televisión, representaba una de las pruebas físicas más agotadoras en la historia del tenis. Un jugador masculino podía luchar a lo largo de una semifinal de cinco sets y cuatro horas el sábado por la tarde y tener menos de 24 horas de recuperación antes de volver a entrar al Arthur Ashe Stadium para jugar la gran final el domingo por la tarde.

Desde entonces, el calendario ha evolucionado para permitir días de descanso adecuados, pero el Super Saturday sigue siendo uno de los capítulos más legendarios en la historia del tenis moderno.

🎾 August Player of the Month – Ximena Díaz

We are proud to recognize Ximena Díaz as our August Player of the Month!

Ximena has been playing tennis for less than a year, yet she has already achieved incredible results. Since joining United Tennis, she hasn’t missed a single practice, consistently training three days a week.

Her discipline, perseverance, and commitment paid off when, after just seven months of playing tennis, she won her first official USTA tournament in South Carolina. Following that victory, Ximena continued working hard throughout the summer, becoming one of the most consistent and dedicated players in our program.

One of the things we love most about Jimena is that she never wants to leave the court—her passion for the game is truly inspiring and makes us incredibly proud. Ximena, your hard work, positive attitude, and determination are setting an amazing example for everyone around you.

From all of us at United Tennis, congratulations on being our August Player of the Month! We can’t wait to see everything you’ll accomplish next! 🎉

FUN FACT FRIDAY!

Did you know that night matches at Grand Slams weren’t always a thing? Back in 1975 at Forest Hills, the US Open became the very first Grand Slam in history to introduce night matches under the stadium lights!

Fast-forward to today: Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, NY, holds over 23,000 roaring fans, making it the largest tennis-specific stadium in the world. Between the roaring crowds, the city skyline, and the sheer intensity on court, a US Open night session feels more like an electric stadium rock concert than a quiet tennis match!

¡VIERNES DE DATOS CURIOSOS!

¿Sabías que los partidos nocturnos en los Grand Slams no siempre fueron algo común? ¡En 1975 en Forest Hills, el US Open se convirtió en el primer Grand Slam en la historia en introducir partidos nocturnos bajo las luces del estadio!

Avanzando hasta el día de hoy: el estadio Arthur Ashe en Queens, NY, alberga a más de 23,000 fanáticos rugientes, lo que lo convierte en el estadio específico de tenis más grande del mundo. Entre la multitud rugiente, el horizonte de la ciudad y la pura intensidad en la cancha, ¡una sesión nocturna del US Open se siente más como un concierto de rock en un estadio electrizante que como un partido de tenis tradicional!
