Smash Bash returned on Aug. 21, 2025, at The Pierre’s Perrine Patio on 61st Street, transforming the space into a courtside spectacle with Central Park at the edge. The event paired players and patrons: Alexander Bublik and Dayana Yastremska anchored exhibition play while guests circulated among curated food stations, a pro-staffed ping-pong table, and smart cocktails. The Pierre’s nearly century-long pedigree of white‑gloved service and Les Clefs d’Or precision framed the evening in 1930s glamour refreshed by contemporary athletic flair. The atmosphere emphasized intimate proximity to athletes, small gestures of hospitality like caviar served with a wink, and exclusive keepsakes for select attendees.
New York has a talent for turning sport into ceremony, and The Pierre has perfected the ritual. Smash Bash returned last Thursday, Aug. 21, 2025, and the Perrine Patio on 61st Street became a courtside fantasyCentral Park whispering at the edge, silver trays in fluent motion, and a crowd fluent in the dialects of both luxury and topspin. Tennis met tuxedo and neither blinked.
The headliners were deliciously mismatched in the way only great tennis can be: Alexander Bublik, the charismatic trickster who can turn a serve into stand-up and a rally into jazz; and Dayana Yastremska, a power-hungry baseline poet who treats the lines like destiny. Their presence did more than raise pulsesit sharpened the evening's silhouette. Guests drifted from curated food stations to the ping-pong table where brave mortals traded spins with the pros, then floated back to smart cocktails and top-ranked pours.
