We are proud to begin this new partnership with the US Open, whose passionate followers and fans represent many of the clients and distribution partners whom we proudly serve every day,” expressed Evan G. Greenberg, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer at Chubb. “This sponsorship reinforces our confidence in the nation’s economic vitality and recovery from the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic,” Greenberg added.

The field for the New York event is missing some of the world’s top players. The Grand Slam event is organized in a bio-secure bubble. Players are already arriving for the event as the Western and Southern Open is before the event. The US Open will start on August 31 at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre.
