    THE US OPEN T O Throughout its 133-year history, the US Open has dared its entrants to dream U R I N big, to strive for excellence in each and every match, and in turn the Open has N F A O done the same. It has moved from the West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills to the M USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, one of the largest public tennis facili - E N ties in the world, and plays its marquee matches in Arthur Ashe Stadium, the T largest tennis stadium in the world. Over the years, the US Open has drawn inspiration from tennis heroes such as Billie Jean King and Arthur Ashe, as well as the innumerable world-class players who have taken part in the event and, of course, from the hundreds of thousands of fans whose dedication to the sport and the F G A event have made the US Open a true sports and entertainment spectacular. In fact, more than R C O I L 700,000 fans on-site make the US Open the world’s largest-attended annual sporting event, and U I T N more than 53 million online visitors plus a global television audience share in the thrill and excite - Y D & ment each year. S Starting with Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day—the world's largest single-day, grass-roots tennis and entertainment event—straight through Finals Weekend, the US Open honors its future and its past, celebrating those who have made the tournament what it is today while also focusing on the next generation that will write tennis history well into the coming decades.

    Tennis DIVISION I WOMEN’S

    Tennis DIVISION I WOMEN’S Highlights Florida grinds out title victory in rematch after fi ghting back from 3-1 defi cit: Florida’s Lauren Embree knew better than to try and hit with Stanford’s Mallory Burdette, so she just kept playing a steady volley game. Embree survived a grueling third-set tiebreaker to beat Burdette 5-7, 6-3, 7-6(6) and clinch the 2011 NCAA Division I Women’s Tennis Championship title for Florida May 24 at Stanford. Florida turned the tables on Stanford, after the Cardinal edged the Gators by an identical 4-3 score in the 2010 championship match. “Mallory hits the ball so hard I knew I couldn’t hit with her,” Embree said. “I had to grind it out. I just wanted to fi ght as long as I could.” “I had my game plan and I executed it pretty well for the most part,” Burdette said. “I’m proud of the way I played. It just came down to two points and I came up short.” Hilary Barte gave Stanford (28-1) its fi rst point at No. 1 singles, beating Allie Will 6-2, 6-4. Nicole Gibbs gave the Cardinal the lead 2-1 with a 6-4, 7-5 win against Sofi e Oyen at No. 3 singles. Stacey Tan recovered from a fi rst-set loss to beat Joanna Mather 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 at No. 4 singles and give Stanford a 3-1 edge, but Alex Cercone returned the favor at No. 5 singles, beating Veronica Li 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 as Florida (31-1) closed to within 3-2.
