What’s New at the 2007 US Open?
Writing by admin on Tuesday, 28 of August , 2007 at 7:00 pm
The folks at Flushing Meadows have brought out the bells and whistles for the 2007 U.S. Open. This year’s “innovations” include handheld TVs for select crowd members, giant screens showing live action for free at Rockefeller Center and Madison Square Park, and the always cringe-inducing practice of letting kids sing the National Anthem.
The new features that matter most to tennis handicappers involve expanded match coverage. Those with access to DirecTV will be able to call up a flood of player statistics while watching up to five matches at the same time. And the U.S. Open website has been upgraded with live broadband coverage of evening matches, analysis, and enough real-time stats to choke a horse.
All that info is a godsend for value-conscious bettors who are scouring the lower-ranked players in the first few rounds. It’s also a chance to avoid the grating panel commentary we often get on the tube. Hallelujah.
