The 2000 U.S. Open will be the first annual sporting event to eclipse the $15 million mark in prize money, but many of the players are playing for much more - pride. The two-week event began with showers postponing play on the first day at the USTA National Tennis Center in New York, but they didn't hamper the action thereafter. While nearly all of the women's top seeds moved through their opponents with relative ease, the men found it more difficult. Two-time U.S. Open champion Patrick Rafter and No. 2 seed Gustavo Kuerten both lost in the opening round and were quickly followed by No. 1 seed Andre Agassi, who lost in straight sets in the second round. Click on the images below for some of the sights from the exciting first week of action.
