The US Open is an annual court tennis (also known as real tennis) tournament run by the United States Court Tennis Association. The event attracts the top professional and amateur players from around the world. The location rotates each year between the Tennis and Racquet Club in Boston, the Tuxedo Club in Tuxedo, New York, the Racquet Club of Chicago, the Racquet Club of Philadelphia. The event has also previously been held at the Racquet and Tennis Club in New York, but it was removed from the rotation due to its male-only policy.[1] The women's rotation excludes Chicago but also includes Prince's Court in Virginia and the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Rhode Island. The men's event carrys ranking points and forms part of the qualification pathway for the Real Tennis World Championship.[2] The women's event does not carry any ranking points.
