In 1915 the tournament moved to Forest Hills in New York where it stayed a few decades. The last two years there were played on clay. It was only in 1978 when the tournament merged to Flushing Meadows and the hard courts era began.

Ivan Lendl, Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras and Roger Federer rank among the best in the open era (since 1968) whilst Richard Sears, Bill Larned & Bill Tilden all won most singles titles before the open era with seven championships to each name.

American Chris Evert, Serena Williams and Norwegian Molla Bjurstedt Mallory are the most successful ladies at the US Open winning six and eight titles respectively.
