U.S. Open Tennis Championship at Same Time as Olympics
July is winding down and tennis fans from around the world are anxiously awaiting the U.S. Open tennis tournament, which is held toward the end of August through the beginning of September. This is the last of the Grand Slam tournaments but not the end of tennis this year. In fact, tennis fans will get a lot more because the 2008 Olympics begin in August.
U.S. Open tennis championship coverage can be see on the Tennis Channel and they will also have updates on the Olympics throughout. The Olympics begin on 8/8/08, which is lucky to the Chinese who will be hosting it. Beijing has been made up and they have even taken steps to get rid of some of the pollution.
The games will played on a hard court and they should be interesting since the players will not have a break from the U.S. Open to the Olympics. In fact, I would not be surprised if there are a few injuries that happen since the players will not have had time to recoup. I imagine that those with injuries from this season will re-injure themselves and those that don’t have injuries will get some.
