U.S. Open Tennis Coverage on The Tennis Channel
Summertime in the U.S. means tennis because the U.S. Open tennis tournament takes place from the end of August through the beginning of September. The U.S. Open coverage will be shown on the Tennis Channel. They always have great commentary and their analysis is second to none. I predict that Rafael Nadal will play in the men’s singles final. I’m not sure who I think he will play against, though.
This tournament differs from the three other Grand Slam tournaments in that there are final-set tiebreaks. It makes the tournament last a bit longer. The U.S. Open tournament is played on the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on an acrylic hard court. Each winner gets $1.4 million and it begins with about 600 males and female professional players. This year the prize money comes to a whopping $120.6 million.
It should be interesting because most all professional players will represent their respective countries in the Olympics beginning in August. They won’t get much rest between tournaments but this is fine for most players as they love the competition.
