The US Open Tennis Championship is preceded every year by nearly a week of FREE Tennis Matches during the Qualifying Tournament which runs from the Tuesday to Friday of the week before the Championship. During this time, tennis fans can get a feel of the US Open without spending a dime.
The Qualifying Tournament is played in the smaller outside courts which lets the fans get up close to the action. Every year, there will be a few famous players whose rankings have gone down due to various reasons which will make them have to go through the Qualifying Tournament to secure a spot in the US Open Championship line-up. It’ll be quite a treat to watch all the players battle it out so close that you can see the perspiration on their foreheads!! No binoculars needed like in the Arthur Ashe stadium!!!
Notable players in the Qualifying draw this year are Melanie Oudin, Shahar Peer , Robby Ginepri, Somdev Devvarman and Donald Young.
So pack some snacks and head over to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center for a few days of FREE fun!!
The 2013 US Open Tennis Championship will be held from Monday, 26 August to Monday, 9 September 2012, at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center at Flushing Meadows, New York City.
