US Open (tennis)

The US Open Tennis Championships, commonly called the US Open, is a hardcourt tennis tournament organized
by the United States Tennis Association annually in Queens, New York City. It is chronologically the fourth and
final of the four Grand Slam tennis events, held after the Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon.

The US Open starts on the last Monday of August and continues for two weeks, with the middle weekend
coinciding with the United States Labor Day holiday. All players participating must be at least fourteen years old.

The tournament is one of the oldest tennis championships in the world, originally known as the U.S. National
Championships, for which men's singles and men's doubles were first played in August 1881. It is the only Grand
Slam that was not affected by cancellation due to World War I and World War II, nor interrupted by the COVID-19
pandemic in 2020.

The tournament consists of five primary championships: men's and women's singles, men's and women's
doubles, and mixed doubles. The tournament also includes events for senior, junior, and wheelchair players.
Since 1978, the tournament has been played on acrylic hardcourts at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis
Center in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, Queens, New York City. Revenue from ticket sales, sponsorships, and
television contracts is used to develop tennis in the United States.

This tournament, from 1971 to 2021, employed standard tiebreakers (first to seven points, win by two) in every
set of a singles match.[2] Since 2022, new tiebreak rules were initiated and standardized in the final set for all
four majors, where if a match reaches six-all in the final set (the third for women and fifth for men), an extended
tiebreaker (first to ten points, win by two) is played. The introduction of the extended tiebreaker in 2022 was part
of a broader effort to standardize play across the Grand Slam tournaments, ensuring consistency in how
matches are decided while also addressing player fatigue and match duration.[3]

History

1881–1914: Newport Casino

The tournament was first held in August 1881 on grass courts at the Newport Casino in Newport, Rhode Island,
which is now home to the International Tennis Hall of Fame. That year, only clubs that were members of the
United States National Lawn Tennis Association (USNLTA) were permitted to enter.[4] Richard Sears won the
men's singles at this tournament, which was the first of his seven consecutive singles titles.[5] From 1884
through 1911, the tournament used a challenge system whereby the defending champion automatically qualified
for the next year's final, where he would play the winner of the all-comers tournament.

Only men competed in the U.S. National Championships from 1881 to 1886. It had both a singles and doubles
division. The first U.S. Women's National Singles Championship was held at the Philadelphia Cricket Club in
1887. The winner was 17-year-old Philadelphian Ellen Hansell. In that same year, the men's doubles event was
played at the Orange Lawn Tennis Club in South Orange, New Jersey.[6]

In early 1915, a group of about 100 tennis players signed a
petition in favor of moving the tournament. They argued that Current champions Jannik Sinner
most tennis clubs, players, and fans were located in the New (singles)
York City area and that it would therefore be beneficial for the Max Purcell

there.[13] This view was opposed by another group of players (doubles)

that included eight former national singles champions.[14][15] Most singles titles 7

women's tournament was held at the Philadelphia Cricket

The Open Era began in 1968 when professional tennis players Margaret Osborne
were allowed to compete for the first time at the Grand Slam duPont
tournament held at the West Side Tennis Club. The previous
Grand Slam
U.S. National Championships had been limited to amateur
players. Except for mixed doubles, all events at the 1968 Australian Open
national tournament were open to professionals. That year, 96
French Open
men and 63 women entered, and prize money totaled

$100,000. In 1970, the US Open became the first Grand Slam
tournament to use a tiebreaker to decide a set that reached a US Open

6–6 score in games. From 1970 through 1974, the US Open

Last completed
used a best-of-nine-point sudden-death tiebreaker before
moving to the International Tennis Federation's (ITF) best-of- 2024 US Open

twelve points system.[5] In 1973, the US Open became the first

Grand Slam tournament to award equal prize money to men and women, with that year's singles champions,
John Newcombe and Margaret Court, receiving $25,000 each.[5] Since 1975, following complaints about the
surface and its impact on the ball's bounce, the tournament has been played on clay courts instead of grass.
This was also an experiment to make it more "TV friendly". The addition of floodlights allowed matches to be
played at night.[25][26]
Since 1978: USTA National Tennis Center

Arthur Ashe stadium in 2010, before

the retractable roof was added.

In 1978, the tournament moved from the West Side Tennis Club to the larger and newly constructed USTA
National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, Queens, 3 miles (4.8 km) to the north. The tournament's court
surface also switched from clay to hardcourt. Jimmy Connors is the only individual to have won US Open singles
titles on all three surfaces (grass, clay, and hardcourt), while Chris Evert is the only woman to have won US Open
singles titles on two surfaces (clay and hardcourt).[5]

The US Open is the only Grand Slam tournament that has been played every year since its inception.[27]

During the 2006 US Open, the complex was renamed to "USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center" in honor
of Billie Jean King, a four-time US Open singles champion and one of women's tennis's early pioneers.[28]

With the move to Flushing, the women's final was played between the two men's semi-finals on Saturday,
creating a block that came to be known as "Super Saturday". While fan-friendly, the concept proved divisive
among players because it gave them less than a day's rest between the semifinal and championship matches. A
number of spectators also tended to leave after the women's final, and not stay for the second men's
semifinal.[29][30]

This ended in 2001, when the women's final was moved to prime time to encourage television viewership, citing
a major growth in popularity for women's tennis among viewers.[31] This practice was eventually discontinued,
and the women's final is currently played in the late afternoon.

For five consecutive tournaments between 2008 through 2012, the men's final was postponed to Monday due to
weather. In 2013 and 2014, the USTA intentionally scheduled the men's final on a Monday—a move praised for
allowing the men's players an extra day's rest following the semifinals, but drew the ire of the ATP for further
deviating from the structure of the other Grand Slams.[32][29]

In 2015, the US Open returned to a format similar to the other Grand Slams, with women's and men's finals on
Saturday and Sunday, and players having an extra day of rest. However, weather delays forced both sets of
semifinals to be held on Friday of that year.[33][30]

In 2018, the tournament was the first Grand Slam tournament that introduced the shot clock to keep a check on
the time consumed by players between points.[d] The reason for this change was to increase the pace of play.[35]
The clock is placed in a position visible to players, the chair umpire and fans.[36] Since 2020, all Grand Slams,
ATP, and WTA tournaments apply this technology.[37]

In 2019, the tournament marked the last time that five-time champion Roger Federer participated.[38] Rafael
Nadal won men's singles defeating Daniil Medvedev.[39]
In 2020, the event was held without spectators due to the COVID-19 pandemic; the Western & Southern Open
was also re-located from Cincinnati in order to create a bio-secure bubble for both events due to their
proximity.[40] An announcement that the wheelchair tennis competition would not be held caused controversy,
because the USTA did not consult with athletes prior to it, as it had with the players' organizations for the able-
bodied competitions. After accusations of discrimination, the USTA was forced to backtrack, admitting that it
should have discussed the decision with the wheelchair competitors and offering them either $150,000 to be
split between them (compared with $3.3m to be split between the players affected by the cancellation of each of
the men's and women's qualifying competition and reductions in the mixed-doubles pool), a competition as part
of the Open with 95% of the 2019 prize fund, or a competition to be held at the USTA base in Florida.[41]

Grounds

Arthur Ashe Stadium with the roof

closed in 2018.

The grounds of the US Open have 22 outdoor courts (plus 12 practice courts just outside the East Gate)
consisting of four "show courts" (Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium, the Grandstand, and Court
17), 13 field courts, and 5 practice courts.

The main court is the 23,771-seat[42] Arthur Ashe Stadium, which opened in 1997. A US$180 million[43]
retractable roof was added in 2016.[44] The stadium is named after Arthur Ashe, who won the men's singles title
at the inaugural US Open in 1968, and was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1985. The next
largest court is the 14,061-seat Louis Armstrong Stadium, which cost US$200 million to build and opened in
2018.[43] The 6,400-seat lower tier of this stadium is separately ticketed, reserved seating while the 7,661-seat
upper tier is general admission and not separately ticketed.[43][45] The third largest court is the 8,125-seat
Grandstand in the southwest corner of the grounds, which opened in 2016.[44] Court 17 in the southeast corner
of the grounds is the fourth largest stadium. It opened with temporary seating in 2011 and received its
permanent seating the following year.[46] It has a seating capacity of 2,800, all of which is general admission and
not separately ticketed.[46] It is nicknamed "The Pit", partly because the playing surface is sunk 8 feet into the
ground.[46][47] The total seating capacity for practice courts P1-P5 is 672 and for competition Courts 4–16 is
12,656, itemized as follows:[48]

Courts 11 & 12: 1,704 each

Court 7: 1,494

Court 5: 1,148

Courts 10 & 13: 1,104 each

Court 4: 1,066

Court 6: 1,032

Court 9: 624
 Courts 14 & 15: 502 each

Courts 8 & 16: 336 each

All the courts used by the US Open are illuminated, allowing matches and television coverage to extend into the
evening.

Surface

From 1978 to 2019, the US Open was played on a hardcourt surface called Pro DecoTurf. It is a multi-layer
cushioned surface and classified by the International Tennis Federation as medium-fast.[49] Each August before
the start of the tournament, the courts are resurfaced.[50] In March 2020, the USTA announced that Laykold
would become the new court surface supplier beginning with the 2020 tournament.[51]

Since 2005, all US Open and US Open Series tennis courts have been painted a shade of blue (trademarked as
"US Open Blue") inside the lines to make it easier for players, spectators, and television viewers to see the
ball.[52] The area outside the lines is still painted "US Open Green".[52]

Player line call challenges

In 2006, the US Open introduced instant replay reviews of line calls, using the Hawk-Eye computer system. It was
the first Grand Slam tournament to use the system.[53] The Open felt the need to implement the system because
of the controversial quarterfinal match at the 2004 US Open between Serena Williams and Jennifer Capriati,
where a number of important line calls went against Williams. Replays on TV showed these calls were incorrect,
including one critical point in the match that was incorrectly overruled by the chair umpire.[54] Instant replay was
available only on the Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium courts through the 2008 tournament. In
2009, it became available on the Grandstand court. In 2018, all competition courts were outfitted with Hawk-Eye,
and all matches in the main draws (Men's and Women's Singles and Doubles) followed the same procedure,
whereby each player was allowed three incorrect challenges per set, with one more given in a tiebreak. Player
challenges were eliminated in 2021, when the tournament became the second Grand Slam to fully incorporate
Hawk-Eye Live, where all line calls are made electronically; the previous year's tournament had also incorporated
Hawk-Eye Live on all courts except for Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong stadiums to reduce personnel during
the COVID-19 pandemic.[55]

In 2007, JPMorgan Chase renewed its sponsorship of the US Open and, as part of the arrangement, the replay
system was renamed to "Chase Review" on in-stadium video and television.[56]

The men's and women's singles prize money ($44.7 million) accounts for 68.7 percent of total player base
compensation, while men's and women's doubles ($7,133,600), men's and mixed doubles ($679,200) account for
11.0 percent and 1.0 percent, respectively. All prize money for the doubles competitions are distributed per
team. The prize money for the wheelchair draw amounts to a total of $1,366,800, plus additional expenses, such
as per diem and direct hotel payments of $4,656,420.[57]

In 2012, the USTA agreed to increase the US Open prize money to $50.4 million by 2017. As a result, the prize
money for the 2013 tournament was $33.6 million, a record $8.1 million increase from 2012. The champions of
the 2013 US Open Series also had the opportunity to add $2.6 million in bonus prize money, potentially bringing
the total 2013 US Open purse to more than $36 million.[58] In 2014, the prize money was $38.3 million.[59] In
2015, the prize money was increased to $42.3 million.[60] In 2021, the USTA set a new record for the highest
prize money and total player compensation in the tournament's history with $57,462,000 and also boosted the
prize money for the qualifying tournament to $6 million, a 66% increase over the package in 2019.[61]

The 2023 tournament saw another record, with total prize money reaching $65 million. Efforts were also
undertaken to enhance support for participants across all events by implementing expanded player expense
assistance measures. This iteration of the tournament introduced substantial changes in player per diem
allowances, extending to all competitors. Notably, travel vouchers worth $1,000 have been newly introduced.
Moreover, players can receive an additional hotel room or witness a twofold increase in their daily hotel
allowance, which has been raised from $300 to $600, provided they choose alternate lodging. Additionally, an
elevation in meal allowances and provision of racquet stringing services are also in effect for all participating
players.[62]

List of US Open singles finalists during the Open Era, records and statistics

Notes

a. DecoTurf was used from 1978 to 2019, and Laykold since 2020.

b. Except Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium during rain delays.

c. In the main draws, there are 128 singles players (S) and 64 doubles teams (D), and there are 128 and 16
entrants in the respective qualifying (Q) draws.

d. Once the chair umpire has announced the score following the previous point, the countdown starts and
players have 25 seconds to begin their service motion. However, the chair umpire has the ability and
discretion to pause or reset the clock to 25 seconds the clock if a point with a particularly long rally merits
a pause for the players to recover their breath. In normal circumstances during the game, if the player has
not started the service motion at the completion of the 25-second countdown, the chair umpire issues a
time violation. The server will receive a warning and for each subsequent violation, the player loses a first
serve (second serves are supposed to happen without delay, so the clock won't be used). In the case of the
receiver, if it isn't ready at the end of 25 seconds, the chair umpire first issues a warning, then the loss of a
point with every other violation. After even-numbered games, the chair umpire will start the clock when the
balls are all in place on the server's end of the court.[34]

e. The 2020 US Open was played behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New York.
