What is the US Open?

The US Open is the fourth and final Grand Slam tournament of the tennis calendar, and is therefore the final opportunity for players to earn big Grand Slam ranking points before the end of the year.

The event was first held in 1881, and has been held in Queens, New York, at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center since 1978. Its prize fund of $60 million was the biggest of any Grand Slam tournament in 2022.

Matches at the US Open are played on a hard court surface, with the 23,700-seat Arthur Ashe Stadium acting as the main showcourt for the tournament, hosting the finals at the end of the championships.

The next edition of the US Open is scheduled to take place from August 28 to September 10, 2023.

Who won the last US Open?

The 2022 US Open saw Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and Poland’s Iga Swiatek claim the men’s and women’s titles respectively, and jointly become the first players born in the 2000s to win the prestigious Grand Slam tournament. As a result of his US Open win, Alcaraz also became the youngest ever men's tennis world No. 1, as well as the first teenager in the Open Era to top the men's rankings.

The men’s doubles crown was won by the team of USA’s Rajeev Ram and Great Britain’s Joe Salisbury, while the Czech pair of Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova took the women’s doubles title. The mixed doubles crown went to Australian duo Storm Sanders and John Peers.

US Open history

The first US Open took place back in 1881 on the grass courts of Newport Casino in Rhode Island. Initially only open to male players, a women’s championship was introduced six years later at the Philadelphia Cricket Club, while the men’s doubles were held at Orange Lawn Tennis Club in New Jersey.

In 1915, the championships moved to the clay courts of the West Side Tennis club, where they remained until 1978, after they switched to their current hard-court home at the USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows. The venue is generally known to fans around the world simply as Flushing Meadows and the tournament is considered the world’s premier hard-court tennis championship.

The US Open is the only Grand Slam that was not cancelled as a result of World Wars I and II, nor interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Bianca Andreescu became the first Canadian tennis player to win a Grand Slam singles title by winning the women’s singles title at the US Open in 2019.
