Watch US Open Tennis Live Online without Cable

US Open TennisThe US Open Tennis Championships (usually just called the US Open) is a hard court tennis tournament. In 2017, it begins on August 28th and continues until September 10th. As usual, it will be held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, New York. It is the final Grand Slam event of each year.

The tournament is the modern version of the U.S. National Championship which was first held in 1881. The events include men’s and women’s singles and doubles, and mixed doubles. It also includes senior, junior, and wheel chair tournaments. The USTA is non profit, so any proceeds go towards promoting tennis in the US.
