US Open Tennis Grand Slam
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 both receiving $25,000.
Another US Open innovation came in 1975 when floodlights enabled night play for the first time. In 1978 the tournament moved from the West Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills, Queens to the larger USTA National Tennis Centre in Flushing Meadows, Queens, in the process switching the surface from clay, used in the last three years at Forest Hills, to hard courts.
Jimmy Connors is the only individual to have won US Open singles titles on all three surfaces (grass, clay, hard court), while Chris Evert is the only woman to win on two surfaces (clay, hard court).
Arthur Ashe Stadium
There are three “Show” Courts, 15 field courts and seven practice courts. The field and practice courts are first-come, first-serve seating. The show courts include the Grandstand, Louis Armstrong Stadium and Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Gates open at 10 a.m. for the Day Sessions and 6 pm for the Night Sessions. On the final Sunday, gates open at 11 a.m It is advised you get to the gates early so you have plenty of time to get to your seats. All fans will go through a screening process before they enter the main gate so this could cause delays.
Arthur Ashe Stadium: this is the premier stadium and usually showcases the bigger matches. Arthur Ashe seats 23,700 and all seats are reserved.
