This year marks a special and very rare occasion for the sport of tennis and all of its patrons.  Not only will the All England Club host the Championships, but the most historic tennis and croquet club in the world will also play host for all Olympic tennis matches this summer.  That's right folks,  order a double shot of Wimbledon for the second time in All England Club history.

The only previous time was in 1908 when the All England Club hosted tennis matches at the fourth running of the modern Olympics.  The Summer Games did return to London in 1948 but the sport of tennis had separated itself from the Olympic movement.

The best tennis players in the world are currently gathered in Flushing-Meadows, NY for the fourth and final major of the 2011 tennis tournament schedule.  Action at the U.S. Open has been great so far, minus the weather delays, and all of the sport's biggest names are still competing for a major singles title. 

The month of August has begun, the hot summer has arrived, and three Grand Slam Tennis events have already been played.  At this time of year, residents of New York and tennis fans around the globe prepare for the US Open Tennis Tournament in Flushing, Queens.

For newcomers and the experienced guest, do you know how to plan out your day at the US Open?  Where you should sit or what to see or where to eat?  Here is our list of things to keep in mind before you make your plans to the US Open.

For the first time since 2003, there is new tennis player on top of the world rankings.  Move over Roger Federer, welcome Rafael Nadal.  During the season, Nadal has won 7 titles including the French Open and Wimbledon.  This man is on pace to break many modern day tennis records.

Have you thought about attending any of the tennis majors and watching these great tennis stars?  Sports Traveler can bring you there.  We offer Tennis Packages to all of the majors during 2009, including the US Open and Australian Open.  These events are the most popular in all sports and you're only click away from being there.

If you have not been to a tennis event, I would personally recommend the US Open.  It is very easy to get to Arthur Ashe Stadium from any area in New York.  You can take the #7 train towards Queens and drops you off right behind the stadium (also in front of Citi Field, home of the New York Mets).  After a very short walk over the bridge, you will arrive at
