2013 U.S. Open

Profile

The greatest thing about the U.S. Open is U.S. Open fever�for two weeks once a year, the tournament, the last Grand Slam of the season, turns half the city into sputtering tennis fanatics: scrambling for center-court tickets; expounding on the beauty and grace of the well-laid drop shot; developing inappropriately public crushes on Roger Federer. The swarming crowds and notoriously expensive concession stands at Flushing Meadows�the home of the USTA National Tennis Center’s seventeen outdoor courts, including the 22,000-seat Arthur Ashe Stadium�are merely a trifling nuisance when the goal is checking out a cavalcade of international stars. New in 2013 is the expanded American Express Fan Experience, an impressive center near the East Gate hosting everything from meet-and-greets with players, swing analysis with experts, and free clinics for children and adults on an enclosed full-sized court.
