US Open - Most Titles Won

 
The US Open is owned and organized by the United States Tennis Association (USTA), a  Not For Profit Organization

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 

US Open Trophy
The current trophy dates to 1947, when it was first presented by the USGA. This model is very similar to an earlier U.S. Open trophy that dated to the first tournament in 1895, but that original was destroyed in a fire in 1946. So the current model is a replacement model.
The U.S. Open trophy is permanently housed in the USGA Museum
