The '''US Open Tennis Championships''', commonly called the '''US Open''', is a [[hardcourt]] [[tennis]] tournament organized by the [[United States Tennis Association]] annually in [[Queens]], [[New York City]]. <span data-darkreader-inline-color="" data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="">It is chronologically the fourth and final of the four </span>[[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] [[tennis]] <span data-darkreader-inline-color="" data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="">events, held after </span>the [[Australian Open]], [[French Open]], and [[Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon]].

The US Open starts on the last Monday of August and continues for two weeks, with the middle weekend coinciding with the United States [[Labor Day]] holiday. All players participating must be at least fourteen years old.

The tournament is one of the oldest tennis championships in the world, originally known as the U.S. National Championships, for which men's singles and men's doubles were [[1881 U.S. National Championships (tennis)|first played in August 1881]]. It is the only Grand Slam that was not affected by cancellation due to [[World War I]] and [[World War II]], nor interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

The tournament consists of five primary championships: men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, and mixed doubles. The tournament also includes events for senior, junior, and [[wheelchair tennis|wheelchair]] players. Since 1978, the tournament has been played on [[Acrylic fiber|acrylic]] hardcourts at the [[USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center]] in [[Flushing Meadows–Corona Park]], [[Queens]], New York City. Revenue from ticket sales, sponsorships, and television contracts is used to develop tennis in the United States.

This tournament, from 1971 to 2021, employed standard tiebreakers (first to seven points, win by two) in every set of a singles match.<ref name="tiebreaker-scoring">{{cite web |title=Tiebreak in Tennis |url=https://tenniscompanion.org/tiebreak/ |website=Tennis Companion |date=October 29, 2019 |access-date=September 1, 2021 |archive-date=September 1, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210901220416/https://tenniscompanion.org/tiebreak/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Since 2022, new tiebreak rules were initiated and standardized in the final set for all four majors, where if a match reaches six-all in the final set (the third for women and fifth for men), an extended tiebreaker (first to ten points, win by two) is played. The introduction of the extended tiebreaker in 2022 was part of a broader effort to standardize play across the Grand Slam tournaments, ensuring consistency in how matches are decided while also addressing player fatigue and match duration.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Moss |first=Ben |title=Momentum in US Open men's singles tennis |url=https://doi.org/10.1080/24748668.2015.11868838 |journal=International Journal of Performance Analysis in Sport |date=2015 |volume=15 |issue=3 |pages=884–896|doi=10.1080/24748668.2015.11868838 }}</ref>

===1881–1914: Newport Casino===
<section begin="GrandSlamArticle" />
The tournament was first held in August 1881 on [[grass court]]s at the [[Newport Casino]] in [[Newport, Rhode Island]], which is now home to the [[International Tennis Hall of Fame]]. That year, only clubs that were members of the [[United States Tennis Association|United States National Lawn Tennis Association]] (USNLTA) were permitted to enter.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1881/07/14/98565187.pdf |title=National Lawn-Tennis Tournament |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=July 14, 1881 |access-date=July 15, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210729141952/https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1881/07/14/98565187.pdf |archive-date=July 29, 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref> [[Richard Sears (tennis)|Richard Sears]] won the men's singles at this tournament, which was the first of his seven consecutive singles titles.<ref name="collins">{{cite book |title=The Bud Collins History of Tennis |author=[[Bud Collins]] |publisher=New Chapter Press |location=New York City |year=2010 |edition=2nd |pages=10, 452, 454 |isbn=978-0-942257-70-0}}</ref> From 1884 through 1911, the tournament used a challenge system whereby the defending champion automatically qualified for the next year's final, where he would play the winner of the all-comers tournament.

Only men competed in the U.S. National Championships from 1881 to 1886. It had both a singles and doubles division. The first U.S. Women's National Singles Championship was held at the [[Philadelphia Cricket Club]] in 1887. The winner was 17-year-old Philadelphian [[Ellen Hansell]]. In that same year, the men's doubles event was played at the [[Orange Lawn Tennis Club]] in [[South Orange, New Jersey]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.usta.com/en/home/about-usta/usta-history/national/usta-locations.html |title=USTA Locations |website=usta.com |access-date=November 7, 2020 |archive-date=February 27, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210227223227/https://www.usta.com/en/home/about-usta/usta-history/national/usta-locations.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

The women's tournament used a challenge system from 1888 through 1918, except in 1917. Between 1890 and 1906, sectional tournaments were held in the east and the west of the country to determine the best two doubles teams, which competed in a play-off for the right to compete against the defending champions in the challenge round.<ref name="USTA" /><section end="GrandSlamArticle" />

The [[1888 U.S. National Championships (tennis)|1888]] and the [[1889 U.S. National Championships (tennis)|1889]] men's doubles events were played at the [[Staten Island Cricket Club]] in [[Livingston, Staten Island]], [[New York (state)|New York]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.si.com/tennis/2016/06/24/us-open-stadium-history-flushing-meadow-new-york-arthur-ashe |title=How the U.S. Open found its home in New York at Flushing Meadows |newspaper=[[Sports Illustrated]] |date=June 24, 2016 |access-date=November 7, 2020 |archive-date=September 1, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210901161929/https://www.si.com/tennis/2016/06/24/us-open-stadium-history-flushing-meadow-new-york-arthur-ashe |url-status=live }}</ref> In the [[1893 U.S. National Championships (tennis)|1893 Championships]], the men's doubles event was played at the St. George Cricket Club in [[Chicago]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Championship tennis tournament |url=http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1893/05/28/page/7/article/championship-tennis-tournament |work=[[The Chicago Tribune]] |date=May 28, 1893 |page=7 |access-date=November 7, 2020 |archive-date=January 7, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170107004358/http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1893/05/28/page/7/article/championship-tennis-tournament/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=On courts of turf |url=http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1893/07/24/page/12/article/on-courts-of-turf |work=[[The Chicago Tribune]] |date=July 24, 1893 |page=12 |access-date=November 7, 2020 |archive-date=January 7, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170107004135/http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1893/07/24/page/12/article/on-courts-of-turf/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Tennis notes |url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1893/07/24/109265252.pdf |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=July 24, 1893 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210729141631/https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1893/07/24/109265252.pdf |archive-date=July 29, 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref> In 1892, the US Mixed Doubles Championship was introduced and, in 1899, the US Women's National Doubles Championship.

In 1915, the national championships was relocated to the [[West Side Tennis Club]] in [[Forest Hills, Queens]], New York City. The effort to relocate it to New York City began as early as 1911 when a group of tennis players, headed by New Yorker [[Karl Behr]], started working on it.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1911/02/04/104777617.pdf |title=Tennis Tournament at Newport Again |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=February 4, 1911 |access-date=July 16, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210729141727/https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1911/02/04/104777617.pdf |archive-date=July 29, 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref>

===1915–1977: West Side Tennis Club===
In early 1915, a group of about 100 tennis players signed a petition in favor of moving the tournament. They argued that most tennis clubs, players, and fans were located in the New York City area and that it would therefore be beneficial for the development of the sport to host the national championships there.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1915/01/17/301768272.pdf |title=Newport May Lose Tennis Tourney |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=January 17, 1915 |access-date=July 16, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210729141902/https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1915/01/17/301768272.pdf |archive-date=July 29, 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref> This view was opposed by another group of players that included eight former national singles champions.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1915/01/18/100131498.pdf |title=Want Newport for Tennis Tourney |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=January 18, 1915 |access-date=July 16, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210729141630/https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1915/01/18/100131498.pdf |archive-date=July 29, 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1915/01/23/100134451.pdf |title=A Tennis "Solar Plexus" |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=January 23, 1915 |access-date=July 16, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210729141729/https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1915/01/23/100134451.pdf |archive-date=July 29, 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref> This contentious issue was brought to a vote at the annual USNLTA meeting on February 5, 1915, with 128 votes in favor of and 119 against relocation.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=vw0nAAAAIBAJ&dq=national%20lawn%20tennis%20newport%20new%20york&pg=5776%2C1049672 |title=Tourney Goes to New York |newspaper=[[Boston Evening Transcript]] |date=February 6, 1915 |access-date=July 16, 2012 |archive-date=August 17, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210817142634/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=vw0nAAAAIBAJ&dq=national%20lawn%20tennis%20newport%20new%20york&pg=5776,1049672 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1915/02/07/104641023.pdf |title='All-Comers' Tourney to be Restricted |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=February 7, 1915 |access-date=July 16, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210729142253/https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1915/02/07/104641023.pdf |archive-date=July 29, 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1915/02/06/106729791.pdf |title=Newport Loses Tennis Tourney |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=February 6, 1915 |access-date=July 21, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210729141644/https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1915/02/06/106729791.pdf |archive-date=July 29, 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref> In August 1915, the men's singles tournament was held at the [[West Side Tennis Club|West Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills]] in New York City for the first time, while the women's tournament was held at the [[Philadelphia Cricket Club]] in [[Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia]] (the women's singles event was not moved until [[1921 U.S. National Championships (tennis)|1921]]).

===Open Era===
The [[Tennis open era|Open Era]] began in 1968 when professional tennis players were allowed to compete for the first time at the Grand Slam tournament held at the West Side Tennis Club. The previous U.S. National Championships had been limited to amateur players. Except for mixed doubles,{{citation needed|date=August 2018}} all events at the [[1968 US Open (tennis)|1968 national tournament]] were open to professionals. That year, 96 men and 63 women entered, and prize money totaled $100,000. In 1970, the US Open became the first [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam]] tournament to use a [[Tennis score#Scoring a tiebreak game|tiebreaker]] to decide a set that reached a 6–6 score in games. From 1970 through 1974, the US Open used a best-of-nine-point sudden-death tiebreaker before moving to the [[International Tennis Federation]]'s (ITF) best-of-twelve points system.<ref name="collins" /> 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]], receiving $25,000 each.<ref name="collins" /> Since 1975, following complaints about the surface and its impact on the ball's bounce, the tournament has been played on clay courts instead of grass. This was also an experiment to make it more "TV friendly". The addition of floodlights allowed matches to be played at night.<ref>{{Cite web |title=U.S. Open History |url=https://www.tennis.com/tournaments/2012/08/us-open-history/16931/ |website=Tennis.com |access-date=May 15, 2020 |archive-date=October 20, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211020122209/https://www.tennis.com/error/404.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=When the US Open was played on clay… |url=https://thelacesout.com/when-the-us-open-was-played-on-clay-acbd0247aa6c |last=Maverick |first=Vickey |date=August 27, 2016 |website=Medium |access-date=May 15, 2020 |archive-date=April 15, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210415230042/https://thelacesout.com/when-the-us-open-was-played-on-clay-acbd0247aa6c?gi=ae060c1a841c |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Since 1978: USTA National Tennis Center===
[[File:Arthur Ashe Stadium 2010.jpg|thumb|Arthur Ashe stadium in 2010, before the retractable roof was added.]]
In 1978, the tournament moved from the West Side Tennis Club to the larger and newly constructed [[USTA National Tennis Center]] in [[Flushing Meadows]], Queens, {{convert|3|mi|km|1}} to the north. The tournament's court surface also switched from [[Clay court|clay]] to [[hardcourt]]. [[Jimmy Connors]] is the only individual to have won US Open singles titles on all three surfaces (grass, clay, and [[hardcourt]]), while [[Chris Evert]] is the only woman to have won US Open singles titles on two surfaces (clay and hardcourt).<ref name="collins" />

The US Open is the only Grand Slam tournament that has been played every year since its inception.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.itftennis.com/about/grand-slams/us-open.aspx |title=Grand Slams – US Open |publisher=[[International Tennis Federation]] |access-date=August 23, 2012 |archive-date=March 27, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120327103128/http://www.itftennis.com/about/grand-slams/us-open.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref>

During the [[2006 US Open (tennis)|2006 US Open]], the complex was renamed to "USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center" in honor of [[Billie Jean King]], a four-time US Open singles champion and one of women's tennis's early pioneers.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/03/sports/tennis/03tennis.html |title=Tennis Center to Be Named for Billie Jean King |author=Richard Sandomir |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=August 3, 2006 |access-date=February 20, 2017 |archive-date=September 7, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210907031328/https://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/03/sports/tennis/03tennis.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

With the move to Flushing, the women's final was played between the two men's semi-finals on Saturday, creating a block that came to be known as "Super Saturday". While fan-friendly, the concept proved divisive among players because it gave them less than a day's rest between the semifinal and championship matches. A number of spectators also tended to leave after the women's final, and not stay for the second men's semifinal.<ref name="espn-atpmonday" /><ref name="espn-tradschedule">{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/tennis/usopen15/story/_/id/13550899/tennis-traditional-us-open-scheduling-favors-roger-federer |title=Traditional US Open scheduling favors Federer |website=ESPN.go.com |date=August 31, 2015 |access-date=August 31, 2015 |archive-date=February 16, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160216212549/http://espn.go.com/tennis/usopen15/story/_/id/13550899/tennis-traditional-us-open-scheduling-favors-roger-federer |url-status=live }}</ref>

This ended in 2001, when the women's final was moved to [[prime time]] to encourage television viewership, citing a major growth in popularity for women's tennis among viewers.<ref name="nyp-ladiesfirst">{{cite news |url=https://nypost.com/2001/08/30/ladies-first-womens-open-final-is-so-hot-theyre-moving-it-to-prime-time/ |title=Ladies first – women's open final is so hot, they're moving it to prime-time |newspaper=[[New York Post]] |access-date=September 12, 2016 |archive-date=August 13, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200813123059/https://nypost.com/2001/08/30/ladies-first-womens-open-final-is-so-hot-theyre-moving-it-to-prime-time/ |url-status=live }}</ref> This practice was eventually discontinued, and the women's final is currently played in the late afternoon.

For five consecutive tournaments between 2008 through 2012, the men's final was postponed to Monday due to weather. In 2013 and 2014, the USTA intentionally scheduled the men's final on a Monday—a move praised for allowing the men's players an extra day's rest following the semifinals, but drew the ire of the ATP for further deviating from the structure of the other Grand Slams.<ref name="espn-mondayfinish">{{cite web |title=US Open schedules Monday finish |url=http://en.espn.co.uk/tennis/sport/story/183876.html |website=ESPN.co.uk |access-date=August 31, 2015 |archive-date=March 5, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210305014044/https://en.espn.co.uk/tennis/sport/story/183876.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="espn-atpmonday">{{cite web |url=http://www.espn.co.uk/espn/sport/story/184271.html |title=ATP blasts US Open over Monday final |website=ESPN.co.uk |access-date=August 31, 2015 |archive-date=March 6, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200306091206/http://en.espn.co.uk/espn/sport/story/184271.html |url-status=live }}</ref> 

In 2015, the US Open returned to a format similar to the other Grand Slams, with women's and men's finals on Saturday and Sunday, and players having an extra day of rest. However, weather delays forced both sets of semifinals to be held on Friday of that year.<ref name="si-usopenthursdaydelay">{{cite magazine |url=https://www.si.com/tennis/2015/09/11/us-open-schedule-watch-semifinal-matches |title=U.S. Open schedule: How to watch semifinal matches |magazine=[[Sports Illustrated]] |access-date=September 12, 2015 |archive-date=October 29, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201029165740/https://www.si.com/tennis/2015/09/11/us-open-schedule-watch-semifinal-matches |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="espn-tradschedule" />

In 2018, the tournament was the first Grand Slam tournament that introduced the shot clock to keep a check on the time consumed by players between points.{{efn|name=Shot Clock|Once the chair umpire has announced the score following the previous point, the countdown starts and players have 25 seconds to begin their service motion. However, the chair umpire has the ability and discretion to pause or reset the clock to 25 seconds the clock if a point with a particularly long rally merits a pause for the players to recover their breath. In normal circumstances during the game, if the player has not started the service motion at the completion of the 25-second countdown, the chair umpire issues a time violation. The server will receive a warning and for each subsequent violation, the player loses a first serve (second serves are supposed to happen without delay, so the clock won't be used). In the case of the receiver, if it isn't ready at the end of 25 seconds, the chair umpire first issues a warning, then the loss of a point with every other violation. After even-numbered games, the chair umpire will start the clock when the balls are all in place on the server's end of the court.<ref name="rules">{{cite news |title=US Open '18: On the clock! 25-second countdown's Slam debut |date=August 26, 2018 |url=https://eu.usatoday.com/story/sports/tennis/2018/08/25/us-open-18-on-the-clock-25-second-countdowns-slam-debut/37603593/ |agency=[[Associated Press|AP]] |access-date=March 29, 2020 |archive-date=November 9, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201109034735/https://eu.usatoday.com/story/sports/tennis/2018/08/25/us-open-18-on-the-clock-25-second-countdowns-slam-debut/37603593/ |url-status=live }}</ref>}} The reason for this change was to increase the pace of play.<ref name="shot clock">{{cite web |url=https://www.usopen.org/en_US/news/articles/2018-07-10/50_for_50_billie_jean_king_1971_1972_and_1974_womens_singles_champion.html |title=Shot clock, warm-up clock to be implemented at 2018 US Open |last=Marshall |first=Ashley |date=July 11, 2018 |website=usopen.org |access-date=March 29, 2020 |archive-date=October 27, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201027011751/https://www.usopen.org/en_US/news/articles/2018-07-10/50_for_50_billie_jean_king_1971_1972_and_1974_womens_singles_champion.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The clock is placed in a position visible to players, the chair umpire and fans.<ref name="ATP">{{cite web |url=https://www.atptour.com/en/news/shot-clock-implemented-in-us-summer-swing-2018 |title=USTA, ATP & WTA Implement Rules Innovations At Events Throughout Summer |date=July 11, 2018 |website=atptour.com |access-date=March 29, 2020 |archive-date=October 2, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211002211506/https://www.atptour.com/en/news/shot-clock-implemented-in-us-summer-swing-2018 |url-status=live }}</ref> Since 2020, all Grand Slams, ATP, and WTA tournaments apply this technology.<ref>{{cite news |title=Tennis: ATP to use Shot Clock in all tournaments in 2020 |date=March 13, 2019 |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tennis-atp/tennis-atp-to-use-shot-clock-in-all-tournaments-in-2020-idUSKCN1QU2H0 |work=Reuters |location=London |access-date=March 29, 2020 |archive-date=November 8, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108002531/https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tennis-atp/tennis-atp-to-use-shot-clock-in-all-tournaments-in-2020-idUSKCN1QU2H0 |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Grounds==
[[File:Arthur Ashe Stadium with the roof closed (32938595438).jpg|thumb|Arthur Ashe Stadium with the roof closed in 2018.]]
The grounds of the US Open have 22 outdoor courts (plus 12 practice courts just outside the East Gate) consisting of four "show courts" (Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium, the Grandstand, and Court 17), 13 field courts, and 5 practice courts.

===Surface===
From 1978 to 2019, the US Open was played on a [[hardcourt]] surface called Pro [[DecoTurf]]. It is a multi-layer cushioned surface and classified by the [[International Tennis Federation]] as medium-fast.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.itftennis.com/technical/courts/classified-surfaces/about-court-pace-classification.aspx |title=About Court Pace Classification |publisher=[[International Tennis Federation]] |access-date=August 25, 2018 |archive-date=January 21, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210121212202/https://www.itftennis.com/technical/courts/classified-surfaces/about-court-pace-classification.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref> Each August before the start of the tournament, the courts are resurfaced.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/08/sports/tennis/us-open-speed-bumps-on-a-hardcourt.html |title=Speed Bumps on a Hardcourt |author=Thomas Lin |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=September 7, 2011 |access-date=August 25, 2018 |archive-date=July 2, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210702164636/http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/08/sports/tennis/us-open-speed-bumps-on-a-hardcourt.html |url-status=live }}</ref> In March 2020, the USTA announced that [[Laykold]] would become the new court surface supplier beginning with the 2020 tournament.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.tennis.com/pro-game/2020/03/us-open-changing-hard-court-brand-for-1st-time-since-1970s/88096/ |title=US Open Changing Hard-Court Brand for First Time since 1970S |agency=Associated Press |website=tennis.com |date=March 23, 2020 |access-date=July 25, 2020 |archive-date=January 27, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210127045532/https://www.tennis.com/pro-game/2020/03/us-open-changing-hard-court-brand-for-1st-time-since-1970s/88096/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

Since 2005, all US Open and US Open Series tennis courts have been painted a shade of blue (trademarked as "US Open Blue") inside the lines to make it easier for players, spectators, and television viewers to see the ball.<ref name="Surface" /> The area outside the lines is still painted "US Open Green".<ref name="Surface">{{cite magazine |url=https://www.si.com/tennis/2015/08/21/how-us-open-makes-courts-colors-science |title=The science behind creating the U.S. Open courts and signature colors |author=Tim Newcomb |magazine=[[Sports Illustrated]] |date=August 24, 2015 |access-date=December 10, 2017 |archive-date=November 11, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201111201342/https://www.si.com/tennis/2015/08/21/how-us-open-makes-courts-colors-science |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Player line call challenges===
In 2006, the US Open introduced [[instant replay]] reviews of line calls, using the [[Hawk-Eye]] computer system. It was the first Grand Slam tournament to use the system.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Williams |first=Daniel |date=January 11, 2007 |title=Australian Open Preview |url=http://content.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1577215,00.html |access-date=March 1, 2021 |magazine=TIME |publisher=Time Warner |quote=As seen at last year's U.S. Open and numerous events since, this is the best innovation in tennis since yellow balls. |archive-date=August 11, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160811181908/http://content.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1577215,00.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The Open felt the need to implement the system because of the controversial quarterfinal match at the [[2004 US Open (tennis)|2004 US Open]]{{citation needed|date=August 2018}} between [[Serena Williams]] and [[Jennifer Capriati]], where a number of important line calls went against Williams.

Player challenges were eliminated in 2021, when the tournament became the second Grand Slam to fully incorporate Hawk-Eye Live, where all line calls are made electronically; the previous year's tournament had also incorporated Hawk-Eye Live on all courts except for Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong stadiums to reduce personnel during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=September 6, 2021 |title=US Open 2021: 'Hawk-Eye Live' replaces line judge as technology takes over US Open; officials reduced from 400 to 130 |url=https://www.insidesport.co/us-open-2021-hawk-eye-live-replaces-line-judge-as-technology-takes-over-us-open-officials-reduced-from-400-to-130/ |access-date=September 8, 2021 |website=InsideSport |archive-date=September 7, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210907095358/https://www.insidesport.co/us-open-2021-hawk-eye-live-replaces-line-judge-as-technology-takes-over-us-open-officials-reduced-from-400-to-130/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

The 2023 tournament saw another record, with total prize money reaching $65 million. Efforts were also undertaken to enhance support for participants across all events by implementing expanded player expense assistance measures. This iteration of the tournament introduced substantial changes in player per diem allowances, extending to all competitors. Notably, travel vouchers worth $1,000 have been newly introduced. Moreover, players can receive an additional hotel room or witness a twofold increase in their daily hotel allowance, which has been raised from $300 to $600, provided they choose alternate lodging. Additionally, an elevation in meal allowances and provision of racquet stringing services are also in effect for all participating players.<ref>{{Citation | year=2023 | title=US Open Prize Money 2023 | url=https://www.perfect-tennis.com/prize-money/us-open/ | access-date=18 August 2023 | archive-date=May 30, 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230530051429/https://www.perfect-tennis.com/prize-money/us-open/ | url-status=live }}</ref>
