History

Historical Context

Since moving to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in 1978, the US Open has repeatedly broadened its program—adding wheelchair events in 2005 and a quad division in 2006. That tradition paved the way for a 2026 mixed-doubles revival featuring Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek, as the tournament offers a record $108 million in player compensation.
