Net proceeds from ticket sales are used to promote the development of tennis in the United States.
The US Open is the only major that employs tiebreakers in every set of a match. If a match reaches a 6-6 tie in the final set (third set for women, fifth set for men) at the Australian Open, the French Open, or Wimbledon, the match continues until one player wins by two games. The sets played before the last set always employ tiebreakers
Since 1978, the tournament has been played on Acrylic Hard Courts at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park,Queens,New Yorl City
