Emilia attended the event, which raised money to improve the lives of others through tennis and education, with her new hubby by her side. "It is always an honor to be invited to opening night of the @usopen where Ryan and I can support the @usta_foundation along with many other generous friends," she captioned a photo of the couple on Instagram. "You won't believe what an amazing difference sports make in a child's life."

The night was major for Emilia in many other ways — namely, that she got to meet her idol, Jewel, whose music helped her "feel less alone and closer to home" as she traveled the world in her younger years.

One summer when I was little my parents told us we were moving to Greece they packed up everything and we were gone. I left behind all my friends, my life, my school, my neighborhood, my home. Within a month I went to a whole new school in a whole new country, I took every class in a language I could hardly speak (ironically today I can hardly speak English!), made new friends, lived in a new home. Overnight I had created a new way of life. Everyone's journey is different and probably many have a far more challenging one than mine, but for me that transition was the hardest in my life, but I did it. It shaped who I am and prepared me for when I moved to the UK. I've picked up and moved around since then until I decided to marry Ryan. The only thing I held onto or got me through all those early years, as incredibly cheesy as it sounds, was a voice. There was one familiar voice I listened to every day that made me feel less alone and closer to home. That was @jewel. I met her yesterday and remembered that you can get through anything in your life if you have hope and love. So give someone you know or don't know a little love and a little hope because it makes the biggest difference.

Ryan and Emilia also rubbed elbows with many other elite tennis fans, including Anna Wintour and Vera Wang.

The @usta_foundation gala is always an inspiring one where we come together to raise money to help provide children with brighter futures through tennis and education. My wife @emilia_bechrakis and I are proud supporters and honored to be in the presence of such brilliant minds, friends, role models and clients. Thank you to our dear friend and attorney Y. David Scharf for inspiring us to give back to the community!!!
