It has been a great past week for the New York Yankees. The team has won seven of their last ten games, trailing only eight games behind the wild card spot. Given the recent run, it looks reachable. Although every team player has done their job during this positive run, Captain Aaron Judge was a standout performer. He proved his worth with brilliant hitting to rise in the home run rankings. Because of this, there is happiness in New York. And Judge took the same to the tennis court in the ongoing US Open.

Given that New York is also hosting the US Open, because of it, the city has become an enormous center of attraction. And being from the same city, Judge wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to witness some top tennis action. Following Aaron Rodgers and Pete Alonso, the 2022 AL MVP enjoyed his off time at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. Notably, he was joined by his wife, Samantha Bracksieck, who made the day more memorable.

The baseball schedule is very hectic, giving very little free time for its stars. And when Aaron Judge got it, he made sure to mark his attendance at the US Open. His wife Samantha and teammate Keynan Middleton accompanied him to the stadium. The US Open also shared an Instagram reading, “The dynamic duo: @thejudge44 and Tina Fey, enjoying this @alexzverev123 and @janniksin matchup.”

In the visuals, Judge and his wife looked adorable. He also imitated a celebration which tennis players often do. However, he was not the only star at the stadium.

According to the New York Post, the New York Jets’ Aaron Rodgers was also present at the stadium along with his teammates. He watched the game between Tommy Paul and Ben Shelton as the two American athletes fought on Day 8. Another notable name who witnessed the tennis classic is NBA star Jimmy Butler.

Undoubtedly, these stars added to the company of Judge, who is doing great. But his focus now will be on the games against the Detroit Tigers. Will the Yankees be able to sweep them up for another solid boost to the playoffs?
