Carlos Alcaraz, recent Wimbledon winner, and Sebastián Yatra, the successful Latin Grammy nominated singer, are set to headline an exciting event at the US Open Tennis Championships. The annual "Sounds of the Open" festival, which is part of US Open Fan Week, will see Yatra give a headlining concert on August 25 in New York.
The proposal for this unique collaboration came from Alcaraz, who in a video shared on social networks, invited Yatra to join the "fan week" and sing his famous song "Vagabundo". Yatra, laughing, accepted under one condition. "But you sing with me, at least the nananá," Yatra challenged him, referring to the catchy part of the chorus.
The exchange did not stop there. Alcaraz, in an amused tone, proposed something more than music. "I don't play tennis... no, lie, I do play, and very well," revealed Yatra, also accepting the challenge on the court. Both parted with enthusiasm, making it clear that their presence in the week leading up to the US Open will be as much on the court as on the stage.
"Fan Week" will take place August 22-27 at Flushing Meadows, offering attendees the opportunity to enjoy free activities and exciting tennis matches. This pre-Grand Slam event will give fans the chance to see the best tennis players in action before the US Open main draw kicks off on August 28.
The collaboration between Carlos Alcaraz and Sebastián Yatra promises a unique combination of music and sport in one of the most anticipated sporting events of the year. The audience eagerly awaits her performance, both on court and on stage, in this exciting week of activities leading up to the US Open Tennis Championships.
