What Is the ‘U.S. Open’ in Tennis?

It is the final major of the tennis calendar, played every year in late August and early September in New York City.

🎾 Key Facts for Bettors

• The Surface: It is played on hard courts. This is faster than the clay of the French Open but slightly slower than the grass of Wimbledon. It generally favors well-rounded players with big serves and aggressive styles.
• The Atmosphere: It is famous for being the loudest and rowdiest tennis tournament. Night matches in New York are legendary for their electric (and sometimes distracting) crowds.
• The Format:
  • Men: Best of 5 sets (matches can be long!).
  • Women: Best of 3 sets.
