Tennis fans at the 2012 US Open and sports memorabilia collectors around the world can now acquire actual match-used items and one-of-a-kind collectibles from the two-week tournament.

 

The USTA has named sports authenticator MeiGray Group as the “Official Match-Used Source of the US Open.”

 

Proceeds from the new program will benefit USTA Serves, a New York educational and charitable organization that helps underserved youth and people with disabilities to improve academics and strive for excellence.

 

MeiGray will authenticate on-site – and market in real time – the balls used in men’s and women’s matches, including match-winning points. Nets, court chairs and other match-used items, selected player autographed and match-used items, and unique artwork from the National Tennis Center will also be available throughout the event.

 

Items authenticated on Center Court and throughout Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong Stadiums also will be available immediately via bidding on-line at http://auction.usopen.org.
