The US Open is held annually at the USTA National Tennis Center, Flushing Meadows in Queens, New York City. The main tournament consists of 5 different event championships: men's & women's singles, men's & women's doubles & mixed doubles, with additional tournaments for senior, junior & wheelchair players.
US Open 2010
The US Open has evolved from an exclusive men's singles and doubles tournament in 1881 to a two-week sports and entertainment extravaganza held in Flushing, N.Y. More than 700,000 fans enter the gates annually at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
Hoping To Reclaim Title
Roger Federer was dethroned in New York last year by Juan Martin del Potro, having won five consecutive US Open titles from 2004 to 2008. The Swiss won his 16th major title at the Australian Open.
Time For First Title?
Andy Murray will again hope to become the first British male since 1936 to win a Grand Slam title. The Scot has lost out to Roger Federer in two major finals, including the 2008 US Open final.
American Threat
Andy Roddick will once again lead the American charge at Flushing Meadows. The 2003 US Open champion was troubled by mono at the start of the summer, and will hope to be back at full fitness.
