Minor Changes to U.S. Open Day 1 Schedule

The United States Open will begin as scheduled, at 11 a.m. on Monday, on a majority of the courts. The biggest change is at Arthur Ashe Stadium, where the first match will begin at 1 p.m. instead of 11 a.m.

In a statement sent Sunday night, the United States Tennis Association said the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center had emerged from Hurricane Irene “with minimal damage.” It also said gates would open to the public at 10 a.m. on Monday.

“From our perspective, we were very fortunate,” said Daniel Zausner, the managing director of facility operations for the U.S.T.A. “There was virtually no damage, and any damage we had was cosmetic in nature.”

The damage that occured is mostly in the form of damaged fences or minor cosmetic damage.  There was no flooding reported or any structural damage.
