The top names and seeds vie for victory in the final Grand Slam event of the season in New York each year. Singles, doubles, men’s and ladies, and mixed doubles make up the five separate tournaments within the championship. Held annually at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, the event dates back to 1881 when it was played in the State of Rhode Island as a men’s singles event only and it was not until 1968 that The US Open took the shape and structure that it has today.
