U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships
L'U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships è un torneo di tennis maschile che si svolge sui campi in terra marrone del River Oaks Country Club di Houston in Texas .
Storia
Il Gallery Furniture Stadium , campo centrale del Westside Tennis Club
Il torneo ha avuto inizio nel 1910 quando la Western Lawn Tennis Association (una parte della United States Lawn Tennis Association ora conosciuta come la USTA / Midwest), spinse la USLTA a creare un torneo nazionale giocato sulla terra rossa che avrebbe aiutato a promuovere la creazione di più campi con questa superficie nell'ovest degli Stati Uniti . I campi in terra rossa erano più economici da installare e gestire rispetto ai campi in erba. La speranza era che i minori costi di manutenzione avrebbero consentito una più rapida espansione del gioco. I primi National Clay Court Championships si sono svolsero presso l'Omaha Field Club con una folla di 5.000 spettatori a guardare le finali. L'interesse verso la terra rossa crebbe molto e a causa di una maggiore partecipazione di pubblico nel 1914 l'evento fu spostato al Cincinnati Tennis Club . È stato votato dai tennisti come miglior torneo di categoria nel 2003 e 2004. L'edizioni del 2020 e 2021 non vengono disputate a causa della pandemia di COVID-19 .[ 1] [ 2]
Bill Tilden detiene il record nel singolare con 7 titoli, mentre nel doppio 3 tennisti dividono il record nel doppio, Clark Graebner , e i fratelli Bob e Mike Bryan in coppia.
