Qualifying Tournament for the US Open Tennis Championships

Free Qualifying Tournament Gives You a Peak at the Tennis Greats

By John Roleke, About.com

The US Open Qualifying Tournament is a fun way to enjoy the US Open without paying US Open prices.

The free four-day Qualifying Tournament is held on field courts at the USTA National Tennis Center (not at Arthur Ashe Stadium). Professional tennis players compete to qualify for berths in the US Open.

Although the top players don't need to qualify, many of them will spend this time practicing at the USTA (in addition to Open Practice Day).

  • When: Tuesday, August 25, to Friday, August 28, 2009. Gates open at 10 a.m.
  • Cost: Free
