In fact, the US Open has a longer association with the City of the New York than such F A O New York City institutions as the Empire State Building (constructed in 1930), The Tony Awards M E (first held in New York in 1947), Rockefeller Center (created in 1928) and Lincoln Center (opened in N 1966). The US Open also has a longer association with New York than some of its most storied T sports franchises, including the New York Knicks of the NBA, who started in 1946; the New York Giants of the NFL, who started in 1925; and the New York Mets of Major League Baseball, who began play in 1962. F G A R o C s O u I L U m a I T N C Y D m i & S T / A T S U A E C V T E I N V T I T S I E & S H I S T O R Y C H A P M A P S I T O N In 1915, the men's singles tournament for the U.S. National Championships moved from the S Newport Casino in Newport, R.I., where it had been held for 34 years, to Queens and took up residence at the newly constructed West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills, N.Y. The club had been situated on Manhattan's Upper West Side since 1892, but the growing popularity of tennis demanded more space. The Queens location, a few blocks from the Long Island Railroad Station, R S E T C with a Tudor-style clubhouse, gave the tournament an accommodating new home in the midst of A O T I R a world-class tennis center. S D T I S According to Wright and Ditson’s Lawn Tennis Guide , the first tournament in New York was an C S instant success: “The externals and business side of the tournament surpassed anything ever & attempted in this or any country. Courts, schedule, handling of matches, umpiring, accommoda - tions for players and spectators were perfect and the galleries throughout were not only large and enthusiastic, but truly appreciative as well.” The men’s singles championships continued at the West Side Tennis Club until 1920, when the R P event moved to the Germantown Cricket Club in Philadelphia in a short-lived attempt (1921-23) E L C A to rotate the championships among different cities. In the absence of the men’s championships, O Y R E D the women’s championships moved to the West Side Tennis Club in 1921. The men’s singles R championships returned to New York City in 1923 upon completion of the 14,000-seat horseshoe S stadium at the West Side Tennis Club. The men’s and women’s singles events were played along - side each other in Forest Hills for the next 53 years. 39 USTA BILLIE JEAN KING NATIONAL TENNIS CENTER T N In 1978, the US Open moved across the borough of Queens to the newly constructed USTA E M National Tennis Center in Flushing, N.Y. Relocating from the private West Side Tennis Club to a O A F public facility in the largest park in Queens provided the US Open with a more spacious venue N N I R U that could accommodate more fans. US Open attendance increased by 26 percent in the tourna - O ment’s first year in Flushing Meadows, and the number of attendees continued to rise steadily T over the next four decades. By the turn of the 21st century, the US Open was drawing on average three times as many fans as it did in Forest Hills. s e g a S & m I D y Y t t N T e I U G L I O C R A G F S & E I S T I T V N I E T V C E A Y The sweeping transformation of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center is creating a R O tennis facility that sets a new standard for spectacular—and enhances the US Open experience T S I for players and fans alike. H RISING FROM “THE VALLEY OF ASHES” New York City Park Commissioner and master builder Robert Moses literally got the ball S rolling in Flushing Meadows by converting acres of marshland and a mountainous garbage N O T I dump—memorialized by F. Scott Fitzgerald as “the valley of the ashes” in his 1925 novel The S P A Great Gatsby —into the site for the 1939-40 New York World’s Fair. Moses planned to turn the M P A reclaimed wasteland into a vast park at the Fair’s conclusion, but a lack of funds stalled the park’s H C development. A quarter of a century later, Moses was hired to organize the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair, and he again selected Flushing Meadows for the fairgrounds. A stainless steel Unisphere weigh - ing 900,000 pounds and standing 12 stories high—the largest replica of the world ever built—was constructed at the center of the site as the symbol of the Fair.

    2012 News Page 1 of 18 The Website of Maria Bueno, Tennis Champion 2012 NEWS ROGER FEDERER VISITS SAO PAULO, 6-9 December 2012 The Gillette Federer Tour kicked off Roger’s first South American visit in Sao Paulo, Brazil, last week and he was keen to involve Maria in the proceedings. The two met at the Player Party, where Roger was joined by Maria Sharapova, Caroline Wozniacki, Victoria Azarenka, Serena Williams, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and the Bryan Brothers. Roger invited Maria to hit with him so he could see her legendary backhand for himself and arrangements were made for them to take to the court laid at the Ibirapuera indoor arena. Maria instructed him not to hit ‘anything spinny’, to which Roger replied that he would play her like he does with his parents and afterwards admitted she was way much better than them! Later he posted a picture of them on his Facebook page, saying: “About to play tennis Maria Esther Bueno… she has won 19 Grand Slam titles (7 singles, 11 doubles and 1 mixed)… she still plays amazing!” As for Maria, she was just astonished at how well he hit the ball. “He sliced one backhand that sped off the court like it had skidded off a line,” she said. “I said: Whoa! What was that? And he just laughed! “It was a fantastic experience and I think he enjoyed it too!” The two players swapped gifts – she gave him a framed photograph, which she signed ‘You are simply the best’ while he presented her with one of his rackets, personally signed on the handle.
