The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, named after the legendary tennis player and advocate for gender equality Billie Jean King, is a pivotal venue in the world of tennis. Located in the Flushing neighborhood of Queens, New York City, it is renowned for hosting the US Open, one of the sport's four Grand Slam tournaments. This facility, expansive and state-of-the-art, was dedicated to Billie Jean King in 2006, acknowledging her contributions both on and off the court.

Constructed in 1978, the tennis center has evolved significantly over the years. The complex sprawls over 46.5 acres and features 22 courts inside its boundaries, and 11 in the adjoining park. The main stadium within the center is the Arthur Ashe Stadium, the largest tennis-specific stadium in the world, with a seating capacity of over 23,000. It includes retractable roofs, a feature completed in 2016, allowing play to continue during rain or extreme heat.

Aside from Arthur Ashe Stadium, the center includes other significant courts like the Louis Armstrong Stadium, which was rebuilt and reopened in 2018 with a seating capacity of 14,000 and its own retractable roof, and the Grandstand Stadium, which can accommodate around 8,000 spectators.

The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center is not only a hub during the US Open, which occurs annually over two weeks at the end of August and beginning of September, but also serves tennis enthusiasts year-round. It offers facilities for public use, player development programs, and is a vital part of the National Tennis Center's mission to promote the sport at every level.

The strategic location in Queens, extensive transportation options, including the subway, buses, and cars, and proximity to various New York City attractions make it accessible to millions of fans who visit during the US Open and throughout the year for other events and activities. The center also undergoes regular updates and renovations to enhance the experience for players, spectators, and officials alike, ensuring it remains at the forefront of world tennis venues.
