Every year, tennis takes over a corner of Queens. Since 1978, Flushing Meadows–Corona Park has welcomed players and fans from around the world, turning a familiar New York park into the center of the tennis world for a few weeks.

For Fall/Winter ’26, we look beyond the match to the relationships and rituals that surround New York tennis culture, spending an afternoon on the court with longtime hitting partners Dave, aka $2 Dave, and Jay, aka Terror 161. Marking the occasion with match-ready gear inspired by the game and its place in New York, familiar characters from around the city find their way onto the court.
