The Tournament:
The US Open Tennis Championships is a hardcourt tennis tournament that began life as the U.S. National Championship in 1881.
The venue for the championship is the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, Corona Park, Queens, New York City. It's former home was the Forest Hills complex.
The tournament consists of men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, and mixed doubles, with additional tournaments for senior, junior, and wheelchair players.
The US Open is the only Grand Slam that employs tiebreakers in every set of a match.
About New York
Beyond everything you already know about New York, it is a city of islands and not just its most famous one, Manhattan. Quaint City Island, iconic and outrageous Coney Island, suburban Randall's Island, historic Governor's Island, once a military fortress, then a Coast Guard base and now a city park dedicated to installation art. The city is surrounded by waterways. Marinas abound, and many New Yorkers commute via ferry.
We embrace summer here, as it is rather short. There are beautiful beaches within the city limits. And we don't always eat posh food. Summer is for Long Island oysters, steamer clams, lobster rolls, and hot dogs. Nathan's Famous in Coney Island on the boardwalk is the one to eat.
As the summer winds down, Fashion Week begins. The lazy days are soon to be over, and attitude will come back in full force.
