	U.S. Open (tennis) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The United States Open tennis tournament, commonly referred to as the U.S. Open, is the fourth and final event of the Grand Slam tennis tournaments.
		The open era began in 1968 when all five events were merged into the newly named U.S. Open at the West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills, Queens.
		The DecoTurf surface at the US Open is a fast surface, having slightly less friction and producing a lower bounce compared to other hard courts (most notably the Rebound Ace surface of the Australian Open).

		This facility opened in December 2001 and accommodates developmentally delayed or handicapped children and children quarantined for infectious diseases.
		During the third set of the 1988 U.S. Open quarterfinals against Jimmy Connors, Agassi was famously made fun of on national television when a fan yelled to Connors, “He's a punk, you're a legend!" Connors laughed at the remark and hit a ball into the stands as a gift to the fan.

	Intellectual property in the era of open source \| Tech News on ZDNet
		The detractor argument is that open source kills innovation; the proponents say open source is good because it promotes freedom, broader sharing of technology, and greater empowerment of users and customers.
		This often means that open source optimizes the creation of IP to focus on the problems that pain customers the most--for instance, where customers are willing to spend the most money--rather than technology that fits a particular business plan or strategy.
		Open source is forcing entrepreneurs and investors to think in new ways about a new set of problems.

		Had she closed out her 1981 2nd round match against Andrea Leand at the U.S. Open after leading 6-1, 5-2, 30-15 (or whatever it was), she most likely would have reached a semifinal showdown against Austin.

		In 1984, Watson's hopes of equalling Harry Vardon's record of six wins at the Open were dashed by Ballesteros, who holed from 20ft for a birdie on the final green to claim his second title.
		The next year was even more dramatic as Sandy Lyle emerged from the pack on Sunday to win by the narrowest of margins at Royal St George's and became the first Scot since James Braid in 1910 to win the trophy.
		But nothing is predictable in golf, especially at the Open, as the last three years have proved with wins for David Duval, Ernie Els and, most surprisingly, Ben Curtis.
