🏆 US Open — Standings & Results

US Open — what it is and how it works

The US Open is the year's last Grand Slam and the loudest of the four. Played on hard courts at Flushing Meadows, New York, from late August to early September, it was the first to adopt the tie-break and to equalise prize money.

Format and competition system

128-player hard-court draws, night sessions and a ten-point deciding tie-break in the final set.

Honours and dominant teams

Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras and Roger Federer share the men's Open-era record; Serena Williams dominates the recent women's draw.
