2009 US OPEN TICKET SALES OFF TO BRISK START

OPENING DAY SALES SECOND BEST IN HISTORY

American Express Pre-Sale Sets All-Time Record

White Plains, NY, June 8, 2009
– – The first day of ticket sales to the general public for the 2009 US
Open, was the second best opening day in US Open history.  With nearly
35,000 tickets sold, this marks only the second time that opening day

The 2009 total tops the 2007 opening day mark, which was a record at that time.  Only first day sales in 2008 were higher.

“We
are gratified that tennis and sports fans view the US Open as a
‘must-see’ event,” said Lucy S. Garvin, Chairman of the Board and
President of the USTA.  “Considering today’s economic climate, the US
Open proves it has staying power.”

In
the six days leading up to the public on-sale date (June 2-6), the US
Open pre-sale for American Express members set the all-time sales
record of more than 31,000 tickets sold in 2009.
