Jeremy Strong, Nina Dobrev, and More Stars Toast the U.S. Open Finals
The US Open always makes headlines, but this year, the tournament delivered an inordinate amount of highs, lows, and Internet fodder. The two weeks kicked off with complaints of influencer indifference at the matches and the rising costs of basically everything for sale within the gates of the Billie Jean King Tennis Center. As the rounds continued, though, the tide turned for the better thanks in part to the celebrity spectators and the rise of American player Ben Shelton (not to mention all those courtside drinks).
While Shelton may not have taken home the championship on Sunday night, spirits remained high. In the Moët & Chandon Club de Tennis Suite, the movement of the match had a slightly muted effect on those in the box: Through all the break points, double faults, and even nail-biting tiebreakers, champagne kept flowing.
This year marked Moët & Chandon’s third at the tournament. For 2026, the champagne brand stepped up its presence with the Club de Tennis Suite welcoming guests like Elle Fanning, Emma Roberts, Paul Anthony Kelly, and more throughout the Open.
When it was time for the finals, held on September 12 and 13, the Suite doors were open once again. Minka Kelly, Irina Shayk, Chanel Iman, and Mary Beth Barone showed up to take in the women’s match, which saw Elena Rybakina best Aryna Sabalenka in three sets. The next night, Jeremy Strong, Adam Driver, and Nina Dobrev were among the spectators for the men’s final.
Strong—dressed in head-to-toe brown Loro Piana—enjoyed a mini Succession reunion with Annabelle Dexter-Jones, who watched the match alongside her real-life love interest, Daniel Humm, owner of Eleven Madison Park. (The chef notably passed on a box of the tournament’s famed caviar-topped Coqodaq chicken nuggets.) One row down, Dobrev and Driver chatted when they weren’t rooting for Shelton. When the 23-year-old failed to clinch the win and become the first US men’s winner of the Open since Andy Roddick in 2003, everyone drowned their sorrows in champagne.
