History US Open Tennis
For many years the main venue at the USTA Tennis Center was Louis Armstrong Stadium, but in 1997 the facility was updated and the new 23,000-seat Arthur Ashe Stadium opened featuring luxury suites, five restaurants and many other amenities.
With a history dating back to 1881, the US Open has been a showcase of champions over the years with stars like Ivan Lendl, Boris Becker, John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick and most recently three-time defending champion Roger Federer. In the women's bracket, Serena and Venus Williams have combined for four titles in recent years but a new crop of stars like Kim Clijsters, Amelie Mauresmo, Lindsay Davenport and 2006 champ Maria Sharapova have emerged to challenge the Williams sisters.

Federer lay prone on the court with his face buried in his hands after beating Britain's Andy Murray 6-2, 7-5, 6-2 at the National Tennis Center in New York yesterday.
