FILO returns to the US OPEN

Director Carrie Hagen recently returned from her 11th appearance for FILO at the US OPEN in Flushing Meadows, N.Y., where she helped manage the ATP World Tour Suite for the fifth time.

The ATP formally defined as the Association of Tennis Professionals joined when a handful of the game's leading players met at the US OPEN to discuss the need for a players' association.

Carrie shared duties with longtime suite hostess Shiela Campion, and was responsible for welcoming and serving guests of both the ATP and Proskauer Rose LLP, the law firm that shares the suite.

“It is an amazing experience as I get to dress up every night and interact with some of the most interesting people from all over the world,” Hagen said. “The best part is that each year I see a lot of the same people. It is almost like my own US OPEN family.”

FILO’s engagement with the US OPEN has taken on many forms over the years from the US OPEN SmashZone to the ATP World Tour Booth to Carrie’s current responsibilities with the ATP World Tour suite.

Other responsibilities with the ATP World Tour Suite have included setting up the suite, shipping and receiving logistics and food and beverage selection.

“It’s truly an unique and special event for FILO.” Said Carrie
