The US Open is the modern version of one of the oldest tennis tournaments and with no doubt one of the most important sporting events of the world. The championship lasts 2 weeks and has been held since 1978, every year during August and September at the National Tennis Center USTA Billie Jean King. Players compete in 5 different ways: individual, men and women, double men and women and mixed doubles,

The national tennis center is located in meadows-corona Park in Flushing, close to Mets Stadium. Ticket prices are high, but the money collected by the USTA, non-profit organization, is used to promote the development of tennis in the United States. The championship is performed during months of high temperature and the park doesn't have much shade, thus you should wear adequate clothing. Do not bring huge bags to avoid long security lines. The 7 train will take you to Flushing Meadows or for a little more money but more comfortable experience take the long island Railroad; also known as the (LIRR).
