US Open underway with a sponsor that the USTA recently sued
The US Open is in full swing in New York. One of the tournament's official sponsors is Olympus. Less than one year ago the United States Tennis Association (USTA) sued Olympus for breach of contract, when Olympus attempted to get out of the remaining years of its sponsorship agreement with the USTA. In February, Olympus and the USTA settled the lawsuit, with Olympus agreeing to remain a sponsor.
