The US Open celebrates equal prize cash anniversary and an icon in a festive opening night time.
Grammy Award winner Sara Bareilles will be part of icon Billie Jean King in headlining an Opening Night time celebration on the US Open on Monday, because the match pays homage to King and the fiftieth Anniversary of Equal Prize Cash with a particular tribute earlier than and throughout the Night Session matches in Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The tribute to King, the driving power behind bringing equal prize cash to the US Open for the primary time in 1973, will happen between the 2 night session matches, culminating with Bareilles fittingly performing her hit music, “Courageous.”
Amongst her many achievements, Bareilles composed the music and lyrics for “Waitress,” and stepped into the lead position of the musical each on Broadway and in London’s West Finish. She earned an Emmy Award nomination for her look as Mary Magdalene in NBC’s “Jesus Christ Celebrity Reside” and at the moment performs Daybreak Solano on the Emmy-nominated musical comedy sequence “Girls5eva” now on Netflix.
Previous to the beginning of the night time’s matches, nine-year-old singer Pranysqa Mishra will carry out the Nationwide Anthem. She lately carried out the anthem on the 2023 Billie Jean King Cup tie in Delray Seashore, Fla., and has captured the hearts of audiences throughout North America, acting at quite a few MLB, NBA, NHL and MLS video games.
The colours might be introduced by the FDNY Shade Guard and the NYPD Honor Guard, a US Open custom.
