If you live in New York and you love the tennis, then you’ll no doubt be hanging out for the 2010 US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows from August 30 to September 12. And if you’re on a budget, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the action live on the court.
You can score yourself a bird’s eye view of world-class players in Arthur Ashe Stadium for as little as $45 a seat for day and night sessions during the first week. And it actually pays to turn out to see the tennis early in the tournament as that’s when some of the tightest, most exiting matches are generally played (don’t forget that the longest tennis match in history, at 11 hours and 70–68 in the fifth set, was a first round match at Wimbledon 2010). Grand slam finals are notorious for being short, one-sided affairs.
The court on Arthur Ashe Stadium is being ripped up and fully replaced this summer, only for the second time in the history of the stadium. So book your cheap seats online at USOpen.org now to see great tennis on the brand-new playing surface.
