Millions of tennis fans said farewell to tennis legend Serena Williams at the 2022 U.S. Open in front of a packed Arthur Ashe Stadium. But what was the tennis scene in New York like when the star made her debut 25 years ago?

Sampras, on the other hand, did not win the U.S. Open that year but he did capture Wimbledon a couple of months earlier.

If you make your way to the food village at the U.S. Open, there are a plethora of meal options between tacos, burgers, Indian food, sushi and beyond.
