Open Ticket History
|
The U.S. Open originates from two separate tournaments: the men's tournament and the women's tournament. The event was first held in August 1881 and staged at the Newport Casino, Newport, Rhode Island (men's singles only). The championships were known as the U.S. National Singles Championship for men. Only clubs that were members of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association were permitted to enter.
The main court is located at the 23,000-seat Arthur Ashe
Stadium, named after Arthur Ashe, the great African American
tennis player who won the inaugural U.S. Open in 1968.
The surfaces of all its courts are hard, so the U.S. Open
always provides tennis at a very high speed.
The
US Open is also unique in that it is the only Grand Slam
event where most of the courts are lighted, meaning that
TV coverage of the tournament can extend into prime-time
to attract more ratings. This has recently been used to
the advantage of the CBS network, the American TV outlet
for the Open for many years, who used their pull to move
the women's singles final to Saturday night.

What is the US Open? and why buy a US Open Ticket?
The U.S. Open is the fourth and
final event of the Grand Slam in tennis. It is held annually in August/September
and the main tournament consists of five championships: men's and women's
singles, men's and women's doubles and mixed doubles, with additional
tournaments for junior and senior players. Since 1978, the tournament
has been held at the USTA National Tennis Center at Flushing Meadows in
Queens, New York.
The
U.S. Open grew from an exclusive entertainment event for the high society
to a $16 million prize money championship (~$1 million for winner of the
singles tournament) for over 600 male and female professional players.
