When does the us open for tennis start?

The 2012 US Open is being held from August 27 to September 9, 2012.

The US Open tennis tournament is held on different dates every year, but it's usually held from one week before Labor Day to one week afterwards. It was previously held from August 29 to September 12, 2011, and from August 30 to September 13, 2010. The matches themselves take place from about 9 AM to about 9 PM.

The US Open is the last Grand Slam tennis tournament of the year. It takes place at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows Park, which is in the Queens borough of New York City. Because of this, the tournament is commonly referred to as simply "Flushing Meadows".

At the 2012 US Open, four-time Grand Slam winner Kim Clijsters was shockingly defeated by 18-year-old English player Laura Robson in the second round. Clijsters, a 3-time US Open champion, had announced before the tournament that she would be retiring afterwards. Meanwhile, Andy Murray continued to cruise through the competition, carrying over momentum from his Olympic gold medal victory. Murray, Djokovic, and Federer are all expected to advance to the Semifinals.
