Larned

William Larned won 8 US Open, not 7, as Sears. (US Open champions (Men's Singles)) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.150.45.86 (talk) 09:00, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Draw

I think that there needs to be some information about how the draw is determined. I know that the main draw consists of 64 players; however, there is a qualifying tournament too, from which 16 players are added to the main draw. More details on this would be helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisphillips71 (talk • contribs) 09:20, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reasons for naming of the grounds and stadiums

The article tells us that Arthur Ashe was a US Open champion and Billie Jean King was a champion and "pioneer" of women's tennis. The two statements are insufficient, in the case of Ashe, and imprecise, in the case of King. Either we should state the reasons, which are multi-faceted and complex, in equal detail, or just leave it to the reader to click on the links to the main articles about Ashe and King, respectively. I'd vote for the latter. 2603:8000:8F40:3B08:A00D:55CB:D849:1578 (talk) 15:40, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. They are very short montages as to the personalities, and the links are there to click if readers want more. I did remove the bit about Ashe winning events that were not the US Open. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:47, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Before Tiebreakers

Nothing is said about this. Did sets end at 6-5? Or require a 2-game margin?
