With opening day on August 28, 2006, U.S. Open Tennis Tournament tickets are a must-have for tennis fans. After qualifying matches, which will take place Tuesday August 22nd through Friday, August 25th the tennis world will see who will be competing in the coveted competition. Qualifying matches as well as the actual tournament will be held on the courts in Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York. Defending champions include the USA’s Rodger Federer in men’s singles, Kim Clijster from Belgium in the women’s singles, men’s doubles’ Bob and Mike Bryan, from the women’s doubles Lisa Raymond and Samantha Stosur and mixed doubles champions Daniela Hantuchova and Mahesh Bhupathi.
The U.S. Open is the fourth Grand Slam tennis tournament in line during the tennis season. Held annually around August and September, the U.S. Open consists of five championship tournaments: the men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles and the mixed doubles. Keeping with tradition, the tournament has been held USTA National Tennis Center at Flushing Meadows in Queens, New York since 1978. With its hard-top courts, the stadium provides for incredibly, fast, high-paced tennis. The U.S. Open has formed from what were originally five separate tournaments the finally merged into one in 1968, known as the Open Era, to become the Grand Slam event it is today. Another benefit to the U.S. Open is that it is the only Grand Slam event with lighted courts, meaning games can carry on into primetime coverage, making it more available to the viewing audience. As of 2005, US Open and US Open Series Tennis courts were given blue inner courts and green inner courts. This served a dual purpose; to make the courts uniform and also to make the ball easier to see.
