The US Open takes place every year in late August and early September, bringing much more colour to the entire city of New York. Also, it is a unique fact that the US Open tennis tournament, which is held as the fourth and last Grand Slam tennis tournament of the year, has the honor of being the oldest tennis tournament in the world.

The tournament consists of 5 championships namely Men's and Women's Singles, Men's and Women's Doubles, Mixed Doubles. Also, through the inclusion of senior, junior and wheelchair events, the vitality and pride of tennis has been brought to the world.
