US Open Tennis History
The US Open is one of the oldest tennis tournaments in the world which began as the US National Championship. The tournament started in August 1881 at the Newport Casino in Newport, Rhode Island. The first U.S. Women's National Singles Championship was in 1887 at the Philadelphia Cricket Club.
Only clubs that were members of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association could enter, with Richard Sears winning the first of his seven consecutive men's singles titles. In 1915 approximately 100 players signed a petition to move the tournament, with a vote at the annual USNLTA meeting ending with 128 votes in favour of and 119 against relocation.
The US Open relocated to the West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills, Queens, New York City. From 1921 through 1923 the tournament was contested at the Germantown Cricket Club in Philadelphia, returning to the West Side Tennis Club in 1924.
The International Lawn Tennis Federation officially designated the tournament as one of the world's major tournaments in 1924. The inaugural US Open occurred in 1968 with Arthur Ashe, an African-American tennis player winning the men's singles title.
1968 marked the first time when professional tennis players were allowed to, previously the US National Championships had been limited to amateur players. In 1973 the US Open became beat the Australian Open, French Open & Wimbledon to become the first Grand Slam to award equal prize money to men and women, winners John Newcombe and Margaret Court each awarded USD $25,000.
The US Open was played on grass courts until 1975 when the tournament switched to clay courts. 1975 also saw the introduction of floodlights which allowed matches to be played at night. In 1978 the tournament moved from the West Side Tennis Club to the USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, New York City.
The USTA National Tennis Center features 22 outdoor courts with four show courts - Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium, the Grandstand and Court 17. All courts at the US Open are illuminated with matches and television coverage extending into primetime.
Arthur Ashe Stadium is the main court with 23,771 seats and a USD $180 million retractable roof that was installed in 2016. The 14,061 seat Louis Armstrong Stadium cost USD $200 million and was opened in 2018.
The US Open has been played on a hard court surface called Pro DecoTurf since 1978 which are classified as medium-fast by the International Tennis Federation.
Since 2005 all US Open courts have been painted blue inside the playing lines. The area outside the lines are painted green to make it easier for players, spectators, and television viewers to see the yellow ball.
Jimmy Connors played through the 1970’s and remains the only player to win US Open singles titles on grass, clay and hard courts.
During the 2006 US Open the USTA National Tennis Center was renamed the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The name change was done to honour Billie Jean King, a tennis pioneer who won four US Open singles titles in 1967, 1971, 1972 and 1974.
In 2006 the US Open introduced instant replay reviews of line calls with a computer system called Hawk-Eye. It was the first Grand Slam to use the Hawk-Eye system.
Owned and organised by the United States Tennis Association (USTA), the revenue from US Open ticket sales, sponsorships, and television contracts is used to develop grassroots tennis in the United States.
The 2020 US Open saw both defending champions - Rafael Nadal and Bianca Andreescu - decide not to compete citing safety concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.
