tennis news - Day 1 at the U.S. Open - U.S. Open Show Schedule from Tennis Mates Dan Arkans

The first day of the U.S. Open kicks off with Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick both in action. Justine Henin-Hardenne is the first match at Arthur Ashe, taking on Maria Elen Camerin.

The match of the day takes place on the Grandstand as 16 year-old American Donald Young takes on Novak Djokovic, who was the story of last year’s Open. It should be a hard-hitting affair with plenty of grunting.

The outer court match of the day takes place on Court No. 6 as Dominik Hrbaty, who always looks to make a fashion statement, against hot-tempered Mikhail Youhzny. Figures to be a great start to a wild two weeks
