The U.S Open never lacks drama. There are epic rallies, surprise underdogs, and the kind of tiebreaks that leave you clutching your seat. Yet this year, Emirates has lobbed in something unexpected: a sweepstakes that could see one lucky tennis fan swapping New York’s concrete jungle for Dubai’s glittering skyline by just attending U.S Open this year.
Win A Dream Dubai Escape At The U.S Open With Emirates

The airline, now in its 14th year as an official partner of the tournament, is putting up a prize that feels almost too good to be real. Think round-trip premium economy flights from JFK, a seven-night stay at Atlantis The Royal, and breakfast served with views that could make anyone forget about subway delays back home. The package also includes complimentary entry to Aquaventure World, billed as the largest waterpark on the planet, and The Lost Chambers Aquarium. Honestly, not a bad deal for something that requires little more effort than filling in your name.
How To Get Your Name In The Hat
So, how do you enter? In practice, it’s as straightforward as a warm-up rally. Just swing by the Emirates booth at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, pop in your details, and you’re officially in the running. No hoops to jump through, no endless forms. The sweepstakes runs until 7 September, and a random draw on 10 September will reveal the lucky winner. If you ask me, it’s worth keeping one eye on your inbox around then.
A Prize That Serves More Than Match Points
Of course, the prize isn’t just about five-star sheets and infinity pools. Dubai itself is a destination that deserves the hype. Picture yourself wandering through the old neighbourhood of Al Fahidi, where lanterns glow at night and alleyways tell stories of a very different city. Or maybe you’re bargaining for gold bangles and spices at a souk before being pulled back into the future at AYA Universe, a digital art wonderland. And then there’s the Museum of the Future, which looks like it fell straight out of a sci-fi script.
For the thrill-hungry, a tandem skydive over Palm Jumeirah is hard to beat. The aerial view alone is worth the nerves, and let’s face it, it’s the kind of experience that makes Arthur Ashe Stadium selfies look tame.
Emirates Off The Court
Even if your name doesn’t make it out of the draw, Emirates is working hard to make sure you still notice them at the tournament. The airline has its Arthur Ashe luxury suite buzzing with celebrity guests, matches streaming live on its in-flight entertainment system, and youth clinics led by tennis stars including Sloane Stephens and John Isner. In other words, they’re not content with a logo on the net; they’re actively shaping the atmosphere around the Open.
Promotions like this do more than move tickets or push hashtags. They create bridges between events and destinations. For fans at the Open, this sweepstakes doesn’t just dangle a prize; it paints a vivid picture of Dubai. One minute you’re watching a forehand winner; the next, you’re daydreaming about mezze under the stars or a sunset cruise on a dhow.
So, if you’re planning to catch some tennis, don’t just queue for merch and hot dogs. Drop by the Emirates booth. Who knows? By 10 September, you could be trading the roar of the crowd for the splash of an infinity pool on Palm Jumeirah. And really, wouldn’t that be a win worth cheering?
