Tennis Tournament Information and History

Australian Open History

The Australian Open is the first of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments held each year. When the tournament began in 1905, it was held on grass courts. Grass remained as the surface until 1988, when it was switch to a hard court. The tournament is held during January each year, which is typically the middle of the Australian summer. In the early years, due to the difficulty in travelling to Australia, the number of entrants in the tournament was very small and consisted of nearly exclusively players from Australia and New Zealand.

French Open History

The French Open is also referred to as Roland Garros, who is a famous French aviator. The event began as a national tennis tournament in 1891. The French Open is the second of the Grand Slam tournaments that are held annually. It is the only Grand Slam that is still held on clay courts. Clay is a slower playing surface and with that and the combination of the five-set men's singles matches, the event is considered one of the most demanding tennis tournaments.

US Open History

The US Open, formally United States Open, is the fourth and final Grand Slam tennis tournament of the year. It is typically played during the weeks surrounding Labor Day weekend. The surface for the US Open is a hard court, which is a fast surface that gives fast, hard hitting players have a slight advantage. The first US Open ever was held in 1881 at the Newport Casino in Rhode Island.


Good Tennis Reference Links
I find the Yahoo Sports section has some great Tennis Stats, including the current Tennis World Rankings.
The Wikipedia Tennis page has a great history of the sport including Tennis Rules, history of great players and more.
