Originally, it was scheduled to end with the mens' singles final match on Sunday, September 13, but due to rain the tournament was extended by one day. Like the Australian Open, the tournament featured night matches.
Former World No. 1 and 2005 US Open women's singles champion, Kim Clijsters, competed in the 2009 US Open[1] after being granted a wild card entry, returning to professional tennis after more than two years of retirement. She made it to the women's singles semi-finals, where she knocked out the defending champion Serena Williams in controversial circumstances. In the final, Clijsters defeated Caroline Wozniacki, the first Dane, man or woman, to reach a Grand Slam final in the Open Era, in straight sets: 7–5, 6–3. Clijsters thus became the first mother to win a Grand Slam since Evonne Goolagong Cawley in 1980.
In the men's singles final, five time consecutive winner Roger Federer lost to Argentina's Juan Martín del Potro in a match lasting over four hours.
Arthur Ashe Kids' Day
The Arthur Ashe Kids' Day was held on August 29, 2009, prior to the start of the tournament. It featured an exhibition tennis match involving American player Andy Roddick and Great Britain's Andy Murray, who were joined by actor and comedian Will Ferrell. American Idol winner Jordin Sparks performed her hit single "Battlefield", along with rising stars Honor Society and Justin Bieber. There were also tennis matches and contests featuring Serena Williams, Ana Ivanović Andy Roddick, Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, Kim Clijsters, and James Blake. The popular tennis and music festival, which included interactive games, musical entertainment and tennis clinics, was hosted by television personalities Susie Castillo and Quddus.[2]

Day-by-day summaries
Day 1 (August 31)
The first day of the tournaments saw many seeds get through pretty easily in straight sets: Roger Federer, James Blake, Lleyton Hewitt, Nikolay Davydenko and Radek Štěpánek. The day also produced a couple of upsets, when Mikhail Youzhny continued 26th seeded Paul-Henri Mathieu's horrible US Open record by beating him in four. While, tall American John Isner did the same to 28th seeded Victor Hănescu by ending the Romanian's 2009 bid in three with the second set going to a tie-break 16-14. The exciting day continued with a couple of five-set marathons, with Simon Greul defeating Giovanni Lapentti, Guillermo García López out-lasting Peter Polansky, and Jan Hernych surviving against Rainer Schüttler. The days last match featured America's hope Andy Roddick prevailing over Björn Phau in straight sets in a match that started at 11:00 pm.[17]
On the women's side, former world no. 1 Kim Clijsters opened the play, winning over Viktoriya Kutuzova losing only two games. Joining her were defending 2009 Wimbledon and Australian Open champion Serena Williams, Amélie Mauresmo, Victoria Azarenka, Flavia Pennetta, Elena Vesnina, Agnieszka Radwańska, Li Na and Marion Bartoli who all won in two sets. Australian Samantha Stosur was pushed by veteran player Ai Sugiyama in three sets, Daniela Hantuchová got past American Meghann Shaughnessy in three as well.

Venus committed four foot faults in the match.[18] With Venus and Serena getting past the first round, a few American players saw success on the women's side with Vania King, Bethanie Mattek-Sands, and Jill Craybas getting to the second round. Austrian and 28th seeded Sybille Bammer, who defeated Serena Williams in Cincinnati, and 25th seeded Kaia Kanepi were the only casualties of the day.

Swede Robin Söderling advanced to the quarterfinals with a retirement of Russian Nikolay Davydenko to face the Swiss Roger Federer, who beat Spaniard Tommy Robredo in straight sets. This will mark the third time the duo of Federer and Söderling has met in a Grand Slam in 2009, including the 2009 French Open final and the 2009 Wimbledon Championships fourth round, which were both won by Federer. Spaniard Fernando Verdasco beat American John Isner to advance into the quarterfinals, which means for the first time in US Open history no American male advanced into the quarterfinals of the tournament.[36] Verdasco will face Serbian Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals because Djokovic took down Czech Radek Štěpánek in straight sets. After defeating Štěpánek, Djokovic provided a light-hearted moment for the crowd along with former tennis great and current commentator John McEnroe. Djokovic began by impersonating McEnroe, who grew up in the nearby Queens neighborhood of Douglaston. He then motioned for McEnroe to come down from the press box; McEnroe obliged, mimicking some of Djokovic's mannerisms before the two played a few points. The two then embraced at the net.
The first match featured Ukrainian Kateryna Bondarenko making quick work of Argentine Gisela Dulko in double-bagel sets in 47 minutes. Dulko had beaten Bondarenko's sister, Alyona Bondarenko, in the second round. with Dulko making 20 unforced errors compared to Bondarenko's 6, while Bondarenko made 17 winners to Dulko's 7[37] Melanie Oudin's Cinderella story continues at the 2009 US Open. The 17-year-old Georgia native's incredible run is still going strong, as Oudin advanced to her first Grand Slam quarterfinal with a 1-6, 7-6(2), 6-3 come-from-behind win over No. 13 seed Nadia Petrova. On her third match point, Oudin hit a screaming forehand crosscourt winner that landed out of Petrova's reach. The second the ball hit the open court, she raised her arms and dropped her racket, with the entire crowd in Arthur Ashe Stadium on its feet and erupting in celebration. But the cheers were not only limited to the main show court. Petrova dominated through the beginning stages of the match, using her power baseline game to stun the young American. An opening service break was the only time Petrova dropped a game in the first set. But it wasn’t until the second set that her game started to fall apart, and she just could not keep the ball in play. Petrova hit a staggering 59 unforced errors on the match, 25 of which came in the second set, and another 22 in the third. The second set saw Oudin take a quick 5-0 lead in the breaker, capitalizing on the Russian's errors. A Petrova forehand that sailed wide gave the American the set. Petrova served to stay in the match at 5-3, saving two match points. But on Oudin's third match point, she fired a solid crosscourt forehand, a shot that she relied on to win so many rallies in the match, and closed it out. Belgian Yanina Wickmayer won in a three-set match against Czech Petra Kvitová to advance into the quarterfinals, making two Belgians who have advanced to the quarterfinalss for the first time since the 2003 US Open tournament, the first set saw Kvitová control the match with her winners and unforced errors, the rest of the match saw the same with Wickmayer making more winners and unforced errors, however for Kvitová, Wickmayer took advantage of the Czech's unforced errors and win the match 4-6 6-4 7-5. Caroline Wozniacki survived over an erratic Svetlana Kuznetsova 2-6, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (3) in an absorbing 2 ½ hour contest that kicked off Monday's night session on Arthur Ashe Stadium. The ninth seed saved a pair of match points prior to the final tiebreak with courageous winners. She ended up losing the last four points of the affair, though, and delivered a staggering 63 unforced errors 55 coming from the last 2 sets to go along with 59 winners. Wozniacki was more solid, with respective numbers of 25 and 16. Things started off well for Wozniacki, breaking Kuznetsova at the start. A fierce Kuznetsova forehand overpowered Wozniacki in the ensuing game to make it. Wozniacki's misery was complete in getting broken at 2-5 from 40-15 up. The errors increased for the Russian, and mounted in the third game, especially on the backhand. Wozniacki broke, conceded serve, and regained the advantage for 5-4. Kuznetsova picked on a second serve to make it 5-5, and a first tiebreak was needed. Wozniacki won it 7-5. Twelve of the 14 points saw either a Kuznetsova winner or unforced error. Somewhat predictably, Kuznetsova then hit a forehand into the net as Wozniacki stood stranded on the baseline. Riding the momentum, Wozniacki tossed away the first game of the decider, broken after leading 40-15. Kuznetsova almost reciprocated, but hung on by putting away a smash for 2-0. Kuznetsova's collapse began at 3-2, missing three routine forehands. Down 4-3 and tied 15-all, Kuznetsova sent an easy backhand volley wide. Two more unforced errors followed, allowing Wozniacki to serve for the match. Kuznetsova broke back, and then faced a first match point at 4-5 when a tentative forehand gave Wozniacki a backhand pass, which he took. Typical of Kuznetsova, a stunning backhand down the line thwarted the danger. Two straight aces made it 5-5, but Kuznetsova blew a 30-0 lead at 5-6, double faulting to set up match point No. 2. She went for it again, and delivered, smacking an inside out forehand winner. An ace eventually leveled the score at 6-6. Wozniacki pulled ahead 3-0. Pegged back to 3-3, Kuznetsova let Wozniacki off the hook by sending a forehand into the net, and slicing a backhand into the net. An errant return sailed wide for 6-3, and this time there was no comeback. A forehand into the net made it 7-3.

In the fourth round of men's singles, Juan Martín del Potro won in straight sets over 2003 finalist Juan Carlos Ferrero 6-3 6-3 6-3, The first set saw del Potro convert the only break point in the set, while on the second set he converted 2 out 3, while Ferrero failed the two that he had, while on the third set del Potro convert only one of his 5 opportunities and Ferrero once again wasn't able to capitalize with the two he had, Ferrero only serve 66% of his first serve, which was unusual for the Spaniard . This set up a quarterfinal clash with Marin Čilić, who upset second-seeded Andy Murray in straight sets as well, this match saw Murray losing his fire, as he failed to convert all of his 7 break points opportunities, while Cilic converted 5 of his 9, Cilic was also impressive in the net as he converted 19 of 20 net points. In a closely contested match Fernando González prevailed over Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in four sets, Tsonga rushed the net with a pair of successful serve-and-volley plays to hold for 1-0. Then Tsonga broke the Gonzalez serve at the fourth games for a 3-1 lead. The Chilean reacted by bashing his Babolat frame into the backdrop, scaring a ballboy and drawing a healthy round of "boos" from the fans. He bounced it off the court four points later before winning back the crowd by donating the cursed racquet to a fan in the front row. Despite getting back the fans he wasn't able to break back. Gonzalez started the second set strongly, holding at love and earning a break point in Tsonga's first service game. Tsonga serve-and-volleyed off a 128 mph delivery, but the Chilean's dipping backhand return forced him to hit a defensive volley, allowing Gonzalez to crush a crosscourt forehand winner. Tsonga had a chance to break back at 1-3, but Gonzalez ran him off the court with another crosscourt forehand before stretching for a drop volley winner. He pumped his fist, held his serve, then clinched the second set. Little separated the players during the 61-minute third set. with the set coming to a tie-break. Gonzalez saved three break points in the sixth game, holding with a run-around forehand winner. Tsonga returned the favor in the 11th game by fighting off three break points on his own serve, punctuating the hold with a 137 mph service winner. From 3-4 in the tiebreaker, Tsonga made two more first serves, but Gonzalez hit two better backhand passing shots. He took the set with an ace off the service tee, to the delight of a large Chilean contingent in the crowd. Tsonga let two break points slip away in the first game of the fourth set as Gonzalez fired yet another round of forehands at the Frenchman. The seventh-seeded Tsonga finished just 1-of-14 on break points. Gonzalez risked losing the crowd support again early in the fourth when he broke with US Open tradition and demanded a ball back from a fan who caught it. One point later, Tsonga hit an overhead winner into the crowd, as if to make up for Gonzalez’ request for his ball back earlier in the match. Gonzalez then broke Tsonga in the game and the 11th-seeded Gonzalez advanced to his second US Open quarterfinal, having reached this stage seven years ago. He is now set to face Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals who outlasted the last Frenchman Gaël Monfils in four sets, the first featured Monfils give up an early lead in the 1st set but still claimed it in a tie-break, despite a good 1st set, the next sets saw Nadal takeover the match, as he converted 7 of his 12 break point opportunities.
Belgian wild-card Kim Clijsters won over Chinese Li Na in two sets 6-2, 6-4 to make it to the semifinals, in the first set Li uncharacteristically made a lot of unforced errors, but the second set saw a much more competitive match between the two in the first 8 games, however Clijsters was able to crush Li in the last two games. The next match featured American Serena Williams who took out a gritty competitor in Italian Flavia Pennetta in the quarterfinals in two hard-fought sets. After both players held serve in the first nine games of the first set, Pennetta finally cracked while serving at 4-5. She had a double fault and then hit three consecutive errors with her forehand to lose the game at love, Serena on the other hand didn't face any break points. The second set saw Pennetta's inability to take advantage of her 2 break points in the first of game of the second set, with Serena serving aces at deuce to take the game, Williams got her second break to go up 4-2 when Pennetta double faulted at 30-40. In a long point from the baseline indicative of the entire match, Williams hit a forehand pass down the line to wrap it up. She then did a two-handed fist-pump before going to the net to congratulate Pennetta on a hard-fought contest. This set up a meeting in the semifinals with Clijsters, who took out Serena's sister Venus in the fourth round.

Rafael Nadal needed 34 minutes to finish off a demoralized Fernando González in their rain-interrupted quarterfinal, advancing 7-6 (4), 7-6 (2), 6-0 to kick off action on Arthur Ashe Stadium. Nadal led 7-6 and 3-2 in a second-set tiebreak when play was called off late Thursday evening. Precipitation throughout a gloomy Friday rendered play impossible, throwing the schedule into chaos and prompting a resumption Saturday at noon. Gonzalez had to win the second set to have any realistic shot of pulling off an upset, but he made three straight forehand unforced errors to gift Nadal a 6-2 lead. The forehand is Gonzalez's most potent wing. Nadal's fourth set point – he squandered three prior to the tiebreak – ended with a Gonzalez backhand return into the net. Gonzalez coughed up two double faults in the first game of the third, including on break point. Not surprisingly, the temperamental 29-year-old responded by flinging his racquet in disgust. After Nadal held in the ensuing game for 2-0, at deuce, things were over. Nadal broke again, and Gonzalez needed an extensive tape job during the changeover, the lone reason the third set extended to 31 minutes. Gonzalez, who wasted two set points in the first on the Nadal serve, claimed 12 points and committed 21 unforced errors. He managed three winners in the third, far less than the 31 combined in the first two sets.
Kim Clijsters won an entry into the women's singles final after a dramatic ending to her semifinal against Serena Williams. After losing the first set 4–6, Williams smashed her racquet into the ground, giving her a code violation warning for racquet abuse from the chair umpire. In the second set, down 5–6 (15–30), Williams had a foot fault called on her second serve, giving Clijsters two match points at 15–40. Williams started yelling at the line umpire, who reported to the chair umpire. As a result, she was penalized for another code violation, for unsportsmanlike conduct, meaning a point penalty for Williams, which meant that Clijsters was awarded the match 6–4 7–5 without playing the match point.[43] Williams later admitted that she was "pretty sure" she did foot fault.[44] After securing her thirteenth straight win at the US Open, Clijsters went go on to play Danish youngster Caroline Wozniacki in the final, who beat her unseeded opponent Yanina Wickmayer 6–3 6–3.[45]
