US Open 2009: Tips and Important Details

The US Open 2009 Starts Today and Goes on Until September 13

Meg G.
The US Open 2009 starts today. Many tennis enthusiasts and sports fanatics are going to watch the US Open 2009 like a hawk. Tennis fans that follow professional tennis will flock to Flushing for two weeks. For those of you unfamiliar with the US Open 2009, Flushing is an area in Queens, which is a neighborhood near New York City.

If you are going to Queens to watch the US Open 2009, there are some things that you should know in order to save time and money.

#1: Don't drive to the US Open 2009. Driving in New York City is chaotic and parking is expensive. Take public transportation instead.

#2: Don't bring a bag with you to the US Open 2009. Security has to check each and every bag that goes in. Instead, carry your wallet and cell phone in your pocket. You won't need much more than that.

#3: Don't eat at the US Open 2009. Food at sporting events is sold at inflated prices. Instead, leave the US Open 2009 and grab lunch at a local restaurant or food cart to save a lot of money.

#4: Dress Appropriately. Sunglasses, a hat or visor, and loose clothing are advisable. August heat can be very miserable, and the crowds won't make it any better. Those with sensitive skin should also wear sunscreen.

In addition, the opening day US Open 2009 lineup is of interest to many tennis fans that cannot watch the US Open 2009 and can't make the trip to Queens. Those interested in seeing an up-to-date US Open 2009 lineup can find it online at the official US Open 2009 website.

What will the US Open 2009 bring? Power house tennis sisters Venus and Serena Williams are expected to do well. Although because of the draw they can't play for the title, a Williams sister win would not surprise any US Open 2009 fan.

The US Open 2009 will take place from today, August 31, 2009 to September 13, 2009. Many people will spend Labor Day weekend at the US Open 2009, and many more people will tune in to watch their favorite tennis stars. Who will win the US Open 2009? Only time will tell.
