Journalist Nick De Pole on social networks reported that 40-year-old Williams entered the court in sneakers that were decorated with four hundred diamonds. Shoe lace tags are made of pure gold. The American dress was inspired by the outfits of the figure skaters and consisted of six layers in honor of her six victories in singles at the tournament. The meeting between Williams and Kovinich was a record attendance in the history of the tournament among matches of the evening session. The US Open is traditionally held at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York, which is the largest tennis arena in the world. In total, 41,930 fans attended the daytime session of the first day of the tournament, which also became a record figure.
