U.S. Open celebrates 50th anniversary

August 27, 2018 - September 9, 2018 - De U.S. Open van 2018 viert 50 jaar tennis in het Open-tijdperk met de
voltooiïng van een vijf jaar durende, $550 miljoen kostende transformatie van het USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre.

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.
