In 2010, over 25,000 registrants entered online or by mail from all over the United States and the Grand Prize winner was Carol Thies from Minnesota. Carol won 2 roundtrip tickets to New York, courtside box seats, a VIP backstage tour of the US Open stadium and grounds and hotel accommodation for three nights in New York. Carol and her friend were able to catch the action at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center during the first week of the event. “I am a huge tennis fan and my favorite event to follow is the US Open. It does not get any better than this,” Carol said while experiencing the Open last summer.
