August came to a close this year in New York and in the sports world that means only one thing. The U.S Open is about to start!!!

This year, like every other year for the past few decades staffers and stringers for Getty Images have converged on the USTA Tennis Center in Flushing, Queens with one thing in mind. Do what we do best, make pictures at the United States’ biggest and baddest tennis event.

For those of you not familiar with the U.S. Open, it is 14 days of tennis at one of the sports most famous venues (maybe not the MOST famous but one of them!). The U.S Open isn’t just about the tennis, it is also a showcase for New York and the stands are usually filled with many A-list celeberities.

Below are some behind the scenes pics of the event and also some link to a multimedia piece I put together.

Wait for it Clive wait for it!!!!!

Any chance????

Down here dude!

May I see your ticket sir?

Only four more sets………………
