About Rachel Lutz

There's nothing quite like being on-site to cover a live sports event, whether it's the US Open, the Olympic Games, or the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. Before joining the USTA full time as a digital producer in 2019, I covered four Olympic Games in various capacities, from both on-site in the host city (London 2012) and NBC Sports HQ in Stamford, CT. Working for NBC Olympics gave me the opportunity to win two Sports Emmys and be nominated for a third. I love trivia, playing Jeopardy!, and doing the crossword and the Wordle daily. I even held an incredibly fun job for three seasons working on the game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire."
