Women's singles final to feature performance by Grammy Award Winner Anita Baker

The Women’s Singles Final of the 2008 US Open will feature Grammy award winning performer Anita Baker.

Anita Baker will sing “America the Beautiful” prior to the prime time Women’s Singles Final. Considered one of the most successful female singers and songwriters in music history, she has won a total of eight Grammy awards. Baker’s sixth original album, My Everything, reached #4 on the Billboard 200 chart despite being released 10 years after her previous album. Baker's ongoing tour, which will continue throughout this fall and winter, is entitled, "An Evening With Anita Baker.”

The Women’s Singles Final will be broadcast live on CBS in prime time for the eighth consecutive year, beginning at 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 7. This is a rescheduled time due to inclement weather.
