US Open Tennis Tickets

2009 U.S. Open Tennis Preview:
This 128th U.S. Open tennis tournament is going to be an exciting one, played on the hard courts at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, New York City. Tennis fans from all over the world will be packing themselves into the luxurious Arthur Ashe Stadium, the world's largest tennis-only venue, to see the finest names in tennis compete for the fourth and final Grand Slam event of the year. Roger Federer of Switzerland will defend his title on the courts in Flushing Meadows, ready to ace any player that gets in his way of a world record 6 US Open Men's Singles titles. Other men's tennis players to keep an eye on are Andy Roddick, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic, all ample competition for Federer, and all are ranked top ten in the world.

On the women's side of the court, there are several notable names to watch. Maria Sharapova of Russia, a former world #1, is only getting stronger and should be a tough competitor to take out this year. Ana Ivanovic of Serbia took the 2008 French Open Grand Slam title. Venus Williams, Serena Williams (2008 defending champion) and Jelena Jankovic also are prime contenders for the U.S. Open title, and should make this year's tournament a veritable battle royale.

The US Open is the 4th major tennis tournament of the calendar year. It is played each year at the USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, which is in Queens, New York. The tournament is played on a hard court surface. There are 5 main championships awarded, including; US Open Men's Singles, US Open Women's Singles, US Open Men's doubles, US Open Women's Doubles and the US Open Mixed Doubles Championship. There are two sessions per day during the two weeks of the US Open tennis tournament, the morning session at 11am and a night session at 7pm. There have been some legendary matches during the night session that stretched well past midnight on the East Coast, but that is part of what makes the US Open a unique tournament.

The US Open is a special tennis tournament, and it has certain rules that make it unique among the four tennis majors. First, the US Open plays a tiebreaker in the final set; the other 3 tennis majors require one player to win by two games in the final set. Also, the US Open Tennis Tournament was the first tennis major to use instant replay to review calls. It is available on the two main courts, Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium, and players are only allowed a few challenges per match.

The first US Open was played in 1881 in Newport, Rhode Island. It only included men's singles, and was called the US National Singles Championship. 1968 was the first year the US Open included all 5 championships. 1978 was the first year the tournament was played at Flushing Meadows in Queens, New York.

The US Open is widely regarded as one of the most exciting tennis tournaments. The field of over 600 players, always includes the top tennis players in the World. The tournament is played in the shadow of New York City, so Manhattan celebrities are a regular sight. The matches are full of action and drama, often lasting late in to the New York evening. But the electric atmosphere of the crowds at the US Open keep you tuned in whether its morning, noon or midnight. Buy US Open tennis tickets today and experience this great event in-person!
