48. The U.S. Open

If you are even mildly interested in professional tennis then you know that the U.S. Open is one of the biggest tennis tournaments throughout the year, and it’s held in New York City.  Every year the Billy Jean King National Tennis Center is packed with addicted fans as the greatest tennis players battle for a place in history. 

The U.S. Open is one the Grand Slam tournaments along with the French Open, Australian open, and of course Wimbledon.  If you are in New York around the end of August or the beginning of September you should make it a point to pick up a couple of tickets to see some of the most aggressive tennis of the year. 

This year’s tournament starts on August 30^th and ends on September 12^th.  This leaves plenty of time to schedule in a tennis match into your schedule.
