About the US Open
The US Open is the last of four Grand Slams on the tennis calendar, starting on the last Monday in August, and running for two weeks. The tournament is one of two majors staged on hard courts, the other being the Australian Open, while the other two are played on clay (Roland Garros) and grass courts (Wimbledon).
Staged at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre, the US Open boasts arguably the most electric atmosphere of the four majors, and it’s renowned for its game-changing innovations and lead role in moving the sport forward.
The US Open became the first major to award equal prize money to men and women in 1973, while it was also the first to employ floodlights to enable night-time play. Among other distinct features of the tournament, it was the first to use tie breaks to decide sets; and till this day, remains the only major to employ breakers in deciding sets. The US Open is also the only Slam that has been staged every year since its inception in 1881 – a record it maintained in 2020 despite the challenges of an unprecedented global pandemic, with a streamlined event played behind closed doors and adhering to strict safety protocols.
William Larned, Richard Sears and Bill Tilden lead the all-time list of US Open champions with seven titles, while Federer is among three players who share the Open Era record of five titles. Djokovic has won three US Opens, while Nadal has won four but did not defend his title in 2020 due to the global health crisis.
