Amanda Anisimova and Madison Keys Kick Off U.S. Open With Lalo Tequila

Ahead of the U.S. Open, American tennis stars Amanda Anisimova and Madison Keys joined Lalo Tequila and IMG for a celebratory cocktail party to kick off the tournament. Through Sept. 7, Lalo is popping up at The Thompson Central Park with a clubhouse where matches will be screened and specialty Lalo cocktails will be on offer. The kick-off party featured custom cocktails for the two players: a passion fruit margarita for Anisimova and a spicy margarita for Keys. “I’m super excited. It’s my favorite tournament,” Anisimova said of getting ready for the Open. The 2025 Wimbledon finalist had been spending the week in town training in the mornings and said she was feeling ready to get started.  “I’ve been training a lot. It’s a super-important tournament for me, so I’m just trying to do everything,” she said. Aside from it being a home tournament, the energy of the city is what makes the Open her favorite.  “It’s always the most exciting one and I just find it very fun compared to all the other tournaments. Even though I’m a player, I feel like I’m part of the environment of the chaos and I thrive on the pressure and all the tension,” she said. Amanda Anisimova Lexie Moreland/WWD In
