History
The US Open grew from an exclusive entertainment event for high society to a $17 million prize money championship (about $1. 4 million for each of the winners of the singles tournaments) for over 600 male and female professional players.
The US Open originated 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 Newport Casino is located at 186-202 Bellevue Avenue, Newport, Rhode Island, United States. Newport is a city on Aquidneck Island in Newport County, Rhode Island, United States, about 30 miles (48 km south of Providence 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. From 1884 until 1911 the tournament used a challenge system whereby the defending champion automatically qualified for the next year's final. The Newport Casino hosted the men's singles tournament until 1915 when it moved to the West Side Tennis Club at Forest Hills, New York. The West Side Tennis Club is a private Tennis club located in Forest Hills, a neighborhood in New York City, USA. From 1921 until 1923 it was played at the Germantown Cricket Club in Philadelphia and returned to Forest Hills in 1924. The Germantown Cricket Club is a Cricket club in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Six years after the men's nationals were held, the first official U. S. Women's National Singles Championship was held at the Philadelphia Cricket Club in 1887, followed by the U. The Philadelphia Cricket Club is the oldest Cricket club in the US city of Philadelphia, and one of the oldest Country clubs in the nation S. Women's National Doubles Championship in 1889. The first U. S. Mixed Doubles Championship was held alongside the women's singles and doubles. In 1900, the U. S. National Men's Doubles Championship was held for the first time. Tournaments were held in the east and the west of the country to determine the best two teams (sectional winners). These then competed in a play-off — the winner played the defending champions in the challenge round.
The open era began in 1968 when all five events were merged into the newly named US Open at the West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills, Queens. This article describes the History The West Side Tennis Club is a private Tennis club located in Forest Hills, a neighborhood in New York City, USA. Forest Hills is a neighborhood in the central part of the New York City borough of Queens. Notably, the 1968 combined tournament was opened to professionals; none of the predecessor tournaments allowed professionals to compete. That year, 96 men and 63 women entered the event with prize money amounting to $100,000. In 1970 the US Open was the first of the Grand Slam tournaments to introduce the tie-break at the end of a set. The US Open was originally played on grass until Forest Hills switched to Har-Tru clay courts in 1975.

The USTA announced that starting in 2008, each player will be given three challenges per set with an extra challenge if the set goes to a tiebreak.
Once a challenge is made, the official review (a 3-D computer simulation based on multiple high-speed video cameras) is shown to the players, umpires, and audience on the stadium video boards and to the television audience at the same time.

All the courts used by the US Open are lit, meaning that TV coverage of the tournament can extend into prime time to attract more ratings. Prime Time is the major News analysis current affairs and Politics programme broadcast on Radio Telefís Éireann in Ireland This has recently been used to the advantage of the USA Network on cable and especially for CBS, the American broadcast TV outlet for the Open for many years, which used its influence to move the women's singles final to Saturday night to draw better television ratings.

In 2005, all US Open and US Open Series tennis courts were given blue inner courts and green outer courts to make it easier to see the ball. This change has been met with mixed reactions from both players and fans, with many players saying that the ball is no easier to see with the blue courts.
The DecoTurf surface at the US Open is a fast surface, having slightly less friction and producing a lower bounce compared to other hard courts (most notably the Rebound Ace surface formerly used at the Australian Open).
