Tennis Player Autographs at the US Open

The US Open is almost here, with pre-tournament events this week and the official start on August 29.

Here's a tip for tennis fans. Your best chances to get autographs from the big-time players are during the pre-US Open events -- Arthur Ashe Kids' Day and Practice Day. Many of the players are on-hand, and are much more relaxed and willing to share a moment with fans than during the grueling tournament. The two events are also free.
