U.S. Pro Tennis Championships

El U.S. Pro Tennis Championships fou el primer torneig de tennis professional de la història. Es va crear l'any 1927 i es disputà fins a l'any 1999. És considerat com un dels Grand Slams professionals juntament amb el Championnat International de France Professionnel de França i el Wembley Championship del Regne Unit. Tot i que amb la instauració de l'Era Open va perdre el sentit de la seva existència, es va continuar celebrant fins a l'any 1999, a vegades formant part del circuit ATP i a vegades com a torneig d'exhibició.

La primera edició es va celebrar al Notlek Courts de Brooklyn sobre gespa durant els dies 23-25 de setembre de 1927. La darrera edició es va celebrar al Longwood Cricket Club de Chestnut Hill sobre DecoTurf. El torneig es va celebrar en diverses localitzacions entre les quals hi ha Nova York, Chicago, White Sulphur Springs, Los Angeles, Fort Knox, Cleveland i Chestnut Hill. Conseqüentment també s'ha disputat sobre diferents superfícies com gespa, terra batuda, har-tru, ciment o DecoTurf.

Notes L'edició de 1937 fou el primer esdeveniment de tennístic professional obert a tennistes amateurs. Això fa que a vegades sigui considerat com el primer "U.S. Open". L'edició de 1951 es disputà en format Round Robin, on Segura va liderar la classificació amb 4-0 i Gonzalez va quedar segon amb 3-1. Les edicions de 1955 i 1956 es van disputar amb el sistema de puntuació Van Alen. Les edicions de 1990 al 1994, el torneig era d'exhibició i no formava part del circuit ATP.
