Welcome to New York, USA! Finally there's the top of the summer US Hardcourts season, the last Grand Slam of the season, US OPEN! All big names are there, qualifying field is strong that even a qualifier can't be put between outsiders. New York tennis (http://tennisforum.com/showthread.php?t=388510#) can expect the best matches on big stadiums but also outside courts, every player is interesting and will be watched a lot. Who will show the best form in those two weeks? Will the preparation before US OPEN pay off? We will find out next week who will lift the US OPEN trophy! Vote now as the US Open main draw progresses!
