The first tennis championship was held in 1877 in Wimbledon, and is still considered the most prestigious one. US Open came into being a while later in 1881. Now there are four Grand Slam tennis tournaments: US Open, French Open, Australian Open and Wimbledon. The US Open tennis tournament was borne from two distinct tournaments -- US National Singles Championship for men and US Women’s National Singles Championship, which were combined and renamed into US Open in 1968. Since then tennis has become a huge commercial and entertaining event with tennis tournament tickets for the public and various sponsors and advertisers.
