August 21st saw the beginning of the 2018 US Open, which means two-and-a-half weeks of grunting, slamming, running and sweat dripping all over perfectly-kept clay courts. But the players and the bobbing-heads of the audience are not the only attendees of the event— several major brands make themselves known at the US Open, too. Here’s our roundup of the top fifteen brands getting their tennis on.

After all the fanfare and glitzy production value that has become the norm for an opening night at the @usopen, @serenawilliams put on a show of her own. The 17th-seeded #Williams overcame some early minor struggles to outclass her opponent, @magdalinette of Poland, 6-4, 6-0. Much has changed for @serenawilliams since she last played in Arthur Ashe Stadium, in 2016. 5 months later, she won the Australian Open for her 23rd Grand Slam title, the most in the Open era. And in September she gave birth to her daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian. She smiled last night as she told fans how meaningful it was for her to feel the electricity of the New York crowd. “It’s really one of the best feelings in the world,” she said. Her second-round opponent is @carina_witthoeft of Germany. If @serenawilliams wins, she could end up facing her sister Venus in the third round. But she wasn’t in the mood to look that far ahead on Monday. “I’ve just got to play and hopefully get there,” she said. @demetrius.freeman took this photo last night.
