The Grand Slam, the 2013 US Open Tennis Championship, will be held August 26, 2013 through September 9, 2013. This year the USTA and the US Open will be promoting health benefits with The Mount Sinai Medical Center, located in New York City. Assistant Professor of Sports Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Alexis Chiang Colvin, M.D., is a specialist in the surgical treatment of sports-related injuries of the shoulders, hips, and knees and will serve as the USTA’s Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Colvin has previous experience in the field and has worked as a consultant to the USTA for the US Open providing medical care to tennis players in the past.

“The vast resources of Mount Sinai will be a tremendous asset to the USTA,” said USTA Executive Director and COO Gordon Smith, “especially as we seek to set the sports industry standard for maintaining the health and wellness of our players.”
