The energy around the US Open spilled far beyond the court. It went all the way to The Benjamin Royal Sonesta Hotel, where at its signature restaurant, The Parliament, players served up a sweet twist to celebrate the tournament’s annual arrival in New York. Instead of trading baseline rallies, four of tennis’s biggest names traded their rackets for ice cream scoops to dish out custom sundaes for guests.
