While we patiently await this fall’s beloved annual NYC tennis tradition, the US Open, tennis-loving New Yorkers will be given a special treat ahead of next month’s Wimbledon tournament in London.
For the fourth year in a row, the annual Wimbledon watch party ‘The Hill in New York’ will return to Brooklyn Bridge Park from July 11 – 13th!
It’s once again set to be the ultimate London-via-New York Wimbledon experience, complete with signature florals, strawberries and cream, freshly baked scones, traditional fish and chips, and thrilling tennis.
Fans will be able to watch the tournament for FREE in a quintessential ‘tennis in an English garden’ setting, and even get to enjoy a special opening night concert from Rita Ora on on Friday, July 11th, presented by American Express!
“As someone who has had the privilege to experience the magic of the Wimbledon finals first hand, I am thrilled to help bring that one-of-a-kind energy of The Championships to the iconic Brooklyn Bridge Park in New York,” Rita Ora said about this year’s event.
“It’s going to be an incredible celebration of world-class tennis from across the pond. Get ready for some HEAT!”
On Saturday and Sunday (July 12-13th), a big screen will broadcast live action from Centre Court, including the ladies’ singles and gentlemen’s doubles finals on Saturday, and gentlemen’s singles and ladies’ doubles finals on Sunday.
Doors will open at 6 pm on Friday for the ticketed concert, and 7 am on Saturday and Sunday for the live tennis action starting at 8 am. After live play has concluded, Wimbledon will be showing sunset screenings of classic matches between tennis legends.
