WNYC News | 7 hours ago

If it's late August, that means it's time for one of the biggest sports events on the New York City calendar - the US Open. It all gets started with free Fan Week events at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. 

As always, there's a lot of excitement around the tennis tournament but there's also dismay about high ticket prices. Sports reporter Priya Desai joins Weekend Edition host David Furst for a preview.
