Open dos EUA celebra o 50º aniversário
August 27, 2018 - September 9, 2018 -
O Open dos EUA 2018 celebra 50 anos de ténis na era Open com a
conclusão de uma transformação do USTA Billie Jean King National
Tennis Centre que durou cinco anos e custou $550 milhões.
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.
