Us Open Tennis: Men
built 382 days ago
In 1988 members of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) convened a press conference in the parking lot at the US Open to announce to the world that they were taking over control of the game. The use of the parking lot emphasized the point that they were banned from using on-site facilities by the then ruling body, the Men's Tennis Council. By 1990 a significant number of players as well as tournament directors had signed up.
Switzerland’s Roger Federer became the first player in the Open Era to win four consecutive US Opens titles by defeating Serbian Novak Djokovic 7-6 (4), 7-6 (2), 6-4 in the men’s final. With the victory, Federer now boasts 12 Grand Slam titles in his career. Belgian Justine Henin took home her second US Open crown, defeating Russia’s Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-1, 6-3 en route to earning her seventh Grand Slam title.
