United Airlines is offering consumers the chance to play tennis with six-time US Open champion Chris Evert during the 2003 US Open championship in September.
United will fly three grand-prize winners and their guests to play a one-hour set against Evert. The winners also score VIP access and courtside seats at the Men’s and Women’s finals. Twelve first-place winners win a trip to New York City for courtside seats at two US Open sessions in 2003. Entries will be taken at united.com/usopen through July 31.
The championship will take place on Sept. 6 and 7 at Flushing Meadow, in New York City.
Chicago-based United will support the contest with national print and online ads as well as a direct-mail campaign to Mileage Plus members. Frankel, Chicago, handles.
