El Abierto de EUA celebra su 50º aniversario
August 27, 2018 - September 9, 2018 - En 2018, el Abierto de EUA celebra 50 años de tenis en la era Abierta con la terminación de las obras de transformación, de cinco años y $550 millones, del Centro Nacional de Tennis USTA Billie Jean King
The five-year project, which revamped more than 90 percent of the venue, included the installation of a retractable roof over the main Arthur Ashe Stadium, the construction of a new 14,000-seat Louis Armstrong Stadium (also with a retractable roof), a new Grandstand arena and practice courts, as well as 10 completely rebuilt southern field courts.
In honour of the U.S. Open’s 50th anniversary, the USTA is also introducing a new logo, which is a modernised version of the tournament's iconic flaming ball identity.
