    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.

  • US Open Sportsmanship.Pdf
    ...It’s How You Pl aythe Game Sportsmanship is an integral part of every match, from junior tennis to the pros. BY KENT OSWALD It is odd how often tennis sportsmanship surprises us. In the first-set tie-break of his quarterfinal match this year at Indian Wells, Novak Djokovic feath - ered a drop shot that Jo-Wilfried Tsonga barely reached before flicking it wide. Walking back to the baseline to prepare to receive serve, Djokovic heard the umpire announce the point in his favor and immediately corrected the chair. Djokovic explained that Tsonga’s shot had nicked his racquet. Even on replays, it was practically impossible to see the contact. But Djokovic knew; he conceded the point. A couple months later, Djokovic found himself on the other side of doing the right thing when Andy Murray protested a time violation warning that had been issued to Djokovic in the final of the Madrid Masters. Djokovic was serving at 30-all, 4-2 in the deciding set when the chair ruled he was taking too long to serve. Murray marched over to the chair. “I’m the one [who] was keeping him waiting,” Murray said. “He was at the line about five seconds before me.” In both cases, there was discussion of how unusual it all was. It is as if sportsmanship is a new concept, when, in fact, it has been part of the game almost from the beginning. In 1881, the United States National Lawn Tennis Association (forerunner of today’s USTA) formed tennis’s first national governing body.

At least one of the three Americans left in the draw guaranteed a place in Saturday’s semi-finals. Tim Smyczek reached his first ATP quarter-final at San Jose in 2011 (l. to Monfils). Five years on, he is back in the last eight for the second time in his career. The wild card will face a fellow American for the third time against the in-form Sam Querrey, the 2008 semi-finalist, after wins over teenager Taylor Fritz and No. 7 seed Donald Young. Smyczek came out on top when the duo last met at ATP World Tour level on the grass of Newport in 2013, but Querrey won their last encounter in the 2014 Napa Challenger final. The all-American showdown guarantees that an American will once again reach the semi-finals at Delray Beach; the last time the semi-finals featured no American players was in 1999 (Malisse vs Draper, Hewitt vs Grosjean).
