While we continue walking, just next to the Grandstand tennis court, we start seeing the biggest tennis stadium of the world!
But before have a closer view of the stadium, we will walk south towards Avenue of the states, heading The Queens Museum.
The Queens Museum, formerly the Queens Museum of Art, is an art museum and educational center, located in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in the borough of Queens in New York City.
The museum was founded in 1972, and has among its permanent exhibitions, the Panorama of the City of New York, a room-sized scale model of the five boroughs originally built for the 1964 New York World's Fair.
The museum embarked on a $69 million expansion project in 2009, which was originally slated to be completed in October 2013.
While we left the Queens museum, we are moving left towards the Unisphere, a spherical stainless steel representation of the Earth.
The sphere, which measures 140 feet (43 m) high and 120 feet (37 m) in diameter. It was commissioned as part of the 1964 Fair. The Unisphere is one of the borough's most iconic and enduring symbols.
The Unisphere has been used as a setting or backdrop for several films and episodes, including the movie Men in Black.
Now we are moving right, to our final destination: The biggest tennis stadium of the world!
This is “Freedom of the Human Spirit”, a massive bronze statue depicting a male and a female nude with wild swans soaring skyward.
The Arthur Ashe stadium have seen Roger Federer win five times the US Open and in 2019, two Colombians made history winning for the first time this important Grand Slam!
Congratulations Robert Farah and Juan Sebastián Cabal! You set the path for many other young kids!

Players compete in 5 different ways: individual, men and women, double men and women and mixed doubles,
The national tennis center is located in meadows-corona Park in Flushing, close to Mets Stadium. Ticket prices are high, but the money collected by the USTA, non-profit organization, is used to promote the development of tennis in the United States. The championship is performed during months of high temperature and the park doesn't have much shade, thus you should wear adequate clothing. Do not bring huge bags to avoid long security lines. The 7 train will take you to Flushing Meadows or for a little more money but more comfortable experience take the long island Railroad; also known as the (LIRR). For more information visit usopen.org

Queens in New York City is the most ethnically diverse urban area in the world. If each of New York City's boroughs were an independent city, Queens also would be the nation's fourth most populous, after Los Angeles in California, Chicago in Illinois and Brooklyn.
Queens is the easternmost and largest in area of the five boroughs of New York City. It is geographically adjacent to the borough of Brooklyn at the southwestern end of Long Island and to Nassau County farther east on Long Island; in addition, Queens shares water borders with the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx. Coterminous with Queens County since 1899, the borough of Queens is the second-largest in population (after Brooklyn), with a census-estimated 2,358,582 residents in 2017, approximately 48% of them foreign-born. Queens County also is the second-most populous county in the U.S. state of New York, behind the neighboring borough of Brooklyn, which is coterminous with Kings County.
