US Open TV Schedule (Complete)
This is the schedule for the US Open. It used to be simple. USA Network with the weekday sessions from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. and the night sessions starting from 7:30 p.m. until 11 p.m.
CBS would take over the weekends from 11:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. USA would have the night sessions.
Now with Tennis Channel and ESPN2 with the cable contracts, the start times have changed. Tennis Channel will have coverage of the outer courts starting at 11 a.m. until 7 p.m.
ESPN2 will have coverage starting mostly at 1 p.m. of the main courts until 6 p.m. Then at night, it’s all ESPN2.
CBS still has its weekend coverage schedule. The difference here is that due to college football commitments, ESPN2 will not have weekend primetime coverage. That’s been outsourced to Tennis Channel. I have the schedule so take a look at what you’ll see. It’s a new world for coverage of the US Open for the next six years.
US Open Tennis 2009 Results (day 6)
The US Open Tennis 2009 results from Saturday, September 5 had some major upsets, including top ranked Dinara Safina getting bounced from the women’s bracket. Add to that #29 Maria Sharapova losing and #3 Andy Roddick being eliminated on the men’s side and underdogs ruled Day 6 of the tournament.
First on the men’s side, Andy Roddick, who made it to the Wimbledon finals only to lose an epic five set match against Roger Federer, was expected to do some damage in the only Grand Slam he has won in his career. Instead he doesn’t make it into the fourth round, losing to John Isner in the fifth set tie breaker.
Roddick put himself in a major hole as he dropped the first two sets 7 – 6; 6 – 3. He did make an impressive comeback as he forced a fifth set by winning the third and fourth sets 6 – 3; 7 – 5. But he didn’t have enough to overcome Isner and he’ll chalk up another year without a Grand Slam title. His one and only Grand Slam title came in the US Open in 2003.
