DecoTurf is the most recognized tennis court us open tennis surface in the world. It is selected for use at the world's most prestigious events including the Olympic Games, the US Open since 1978, seven of the ten US Open Series tournaments, the NCAA championships and many other tournaments around the world. The US Open was originally played on grass until Forest Hills switched to Har-Tru clay us open tennis courts in 1975. In 1978, the event moved from Forest Hills to its current home at Flushing Meadows, and the us open tennis surface changed again, to the current DecoTurf. (Jimmy Connors is the only man to have won the US Open on more than one us open tennis surface in fact, he won it on all three us open tennis surfaces.)

In 2006, the US Open became the first Grand Slam tournament to implement instant replay reviews of calls, using Hawk-Eye. Available only on the stadium us open tennis courts (Ashe and Armstrong), each player was allowed two challenges per set plus one additional challenge during a tiebreak but was not penalized with the loss of a challenge if it was upheld. The USTA announced that starting in 2008, each player will be given three challenges per set with an extra challenge if the set goes to a tiebreak.

The main court is located at the 24,000-seat Arthur Ashe Stadium, named after Arthur Ashe, the African American tennis player who won the inaugural men's final of the US Open in 1968. (The British tennis player Virginia Wade won the first woman's US Open final, five months after she turned professional.) Court Number 2 is Louis Armstrong Stadium, which stood as the main stadium until the completion of Ashe stadium. Court Number 3 is the Grandstand Stadium, which is attached to the Luis Armstrong Stadium. Sideus open tennis courts 4, 7 and 11 each have a seating capacity of well over 1,000.All the us open tennis courts used by the US Open are lit, meaning that TV coverage of the tournament can extend into prime time to attract more ratings. This has recently been used to the advantage of the USA Network on cable and especially for CBS, the American broadcast TV outlet for the Open for many years, which used its influence to move the women's singles final to Saturday night to draw better television ratings.
