US Open Tennis Championships Tickets


Event History: US Open Tennis Tickets

This tournament was first played in 1881 at the Newport Casino in Newport, Rhode Island, where it remained for the next 34 years. During that time, U.S. Open tennis tickets typically brought in high society, although today, people from around the world come to see tennis greats at their finest.

Six years after the first tournament, which featured only men's singles, a women's championship was held at the Germantown Cricket Club in Philadelphia, followed by a doubles championship two years later, a mixed doubles championship and a men's double championship in 1900. It wasn't until 1968 that all five tournaments were merged together in a single event at the West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills, New York.

Today, the event, which takes place over two weekends in August and September, provides multiple venues for pros and amateurs to compete in all five events.
