The 'beer girl' who caused a storm on social media at the US Open is set to return to Flushing Meadows for a third year in a row.

Megan Lucky sent fans into a frenzy when she downed a pint of beer as TV cameras put her image up on the big screen.

After seeing off the drink in quick time, Lucky stretched her hands up in the air, soaking in the reception from the crowd.

"I don’t know what came over me," she told The New York Post. "But it was this fun moment, super spontaneous and I didn’t think anything of it except to get the crowd going."

Lucky then returned to Flushing Meadows the year after, with the cameras catching her with a pint in hand in the crowd once again.

As those around her cheered her on, the tennis lover rose to the occasion once again, tipping her head back and sinking the pint again before raising her glass in the air.

This summer's US Open is now in full swing, and many fans have been wondering whether she will be making a return to make it three years in a row.

But it turns out Lucky - who now has her own podcast and thousands of social media followers - knows the 'beer girl' is now part of US Open tradition.

"I've been debating over the last couple of weeks whether to come back to the US Open this year," she told her 112k Instagram followers. "I've made a decision, it hasn't been an easy one.

"I want to be the best version of myself and a role model to others, I want to stay true to my values and I want to figure out if I can do all those things while being beer girl.

"I have decided that I can be beer girl and all of those things, because 'beer girl' is a part of me, I like to go to sporting events and make people smile and there's nothing wrong with that!

Placing a pink US Open cap on her head, she concluded: "Without further ado, I will see you guys on Friday!"

Responding to her vow to make it three in a row, one fan commented: "The people will riot if we don't get a video of you chugging this weekend!"

"Looking forward to see you drinking beer. So, the real question? Are you going to beat your 2022’s time?" another asked.

"Yes! GO BEER GIRL!!!" a third added.

This Friday will see reigning US Open champion and this year's Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz face Lloyd Harris, with US Open 2021 winner Daniil Medvedev also in action.

Meanwhile, this Thursday is a big day for British tennis, with Andy Murray, Dan Evans, Cameron Norrie, Jack Draper, Katie Boulter and Jodie Burrage all playing.
