US Open Tickets Tennis News
History

Originally known as the U.S. National Championships, the US Open began in 1881 as a single men's tournament played for entertainment purposes only. Members of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association were the only players allowed to compete, and a gentleman by the name of Richard D. Sears became the very first winner. He also went on to dominate the tournament for the next six years.

In the over 120 years of its existence, the US Open has gone through many changes that have shaped it into the modern Grand Slam that it is today. The first change came in 1887 with the inclusion of women in the game, and 5 years later with the first Mixed Doubles match. Later, as the Championships began to move around the country, the Men's Doubles were split into an East and West contest whose winners played-off for the right to take on the holders. After this challenge round was abolished in 1920, the current knockout system began.

Then in 1968, the five major championships were consolidated, marking the beginning of the Open Era. This also meant that the tournament would be held at only one venue, which was West Side Tennis Club in Queens, New York. Now being held at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, NY, the US Open has become one of the richest professional tennis events for amateurs and professionals all over the world.

At one and a half times the size of Central Park, Flushing Meadows Corona Park has developed from the swamp that it once was into the beautiful park that it is today. Home to not only the New York Mets and the US Open, there is also an art museum, a zoo, and botanical gardens. With all of its amenities, your trip to the US Open can become even more of an experience as there is something for everyone at Flushing Meadows Corona Park.
