The US Open Tennis is a hard court tennis tournament, as opposed to the Wimbledon tournament which is traditionally held on grass. The US Open is the fourth and final tennis major comprising the Grand Slam each year; the other three are the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon.
The US Open is held annually, usually during late August or early September and spans over a two-week period. The main tournament consists of five event championships: men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles, and mixed doubles. There are also additional tournaments for senior, junior, and wheelchair players. Since its inception, the US Open has been held on acrylic hard courts at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, Queens, New York City. The United States Tennis Association (USTA), a not-for-profit organization, owns and runs the US Open. Proceeds garnered from ticket sales are used for the promotion and development of tennis in the United States.
The 2015 edition of the US Open is the 135th edition of the tournament and will be held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park of Queens in New York City, New York, United States.
The tournament is run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF). It is part of the 2015 ATP World Tour and the 2015 WTA Tour calendars under the Grand Slam category. The tournament consists of both men’s and women’s singles, doubles as well as a mixed doubles event. There will be singles and doubles events for both boys and girls under the age of 18, which is part of the Grade A category of tournaments.
In addition to that, as part of the NEC tour, there are singles, doubles and quad events for men’s and women’s wheelchair tennis players.
Additionally, 8 male and female former Grand Slam champions will be taking part in the annual men’s and women’s Champions Invitational doubles events.
