To say the 2025 AAD Open was a movie would be an understatement. This year’s Open was a saga – a story of grit and determination that helped us all remember why we all love tennis. It reminded us that the one thing that we can control on court is our attitude. It also reminded us of those formative years in USTA tournaments, waiting for the rain to subside before heading back to battle.

However, if there’s only one take away, it’s that we found community. We all lead such different lives, but we all came together on Saturday because of our love for the game. We hope you were able to find new hitting partners, reconnect with old friends, and build community with each other.

With that said, we want to express our sincerest gratitude to you, patrons of the AAD Open and the AAD mission more broadly, for supporting our 3rd annual tennis benefit! This year, we brought in a record 84 players and have raised another record $14,988! Thunderstorms aside, we made history and that’s something we can all be proud of.

A tremendous thank you to our event partners: Capri Holdings, Drink Boken, Happy Tuna, Drink Lunar, NYC Racquet Sports, Trophy Central, USTA Eastern and Voss World for sponsoring the AAD Open and championing our mission.
