The U.S. Open is a prestigious tennis tournament that has seen several notable moments in Black history. One of the most prominent figures in U.S. Open history is Arthur Ashe. Ashe became the first Black man to win the U.S. Open in 1968, and he remains the only Black man to have won the singles title at the tournament.

In 2017, Serena Williams set a new record for the most Grand Slam singles titles in the Open era by winning her 23rd title at the U.S. Open. Williams has been a dominant force in women's tennis and has used her platform to advocate for equality and social justice.

Other Black tennis players like Althea Gibson, Venus Williams, and Sloane Stephens have also made significant impacts at the U.S. Open, inspiring future generations of Black tennis players.

Overall, the U.S. Open has been a platform for Black athletes to showcase their talent and break barriers in the sport of tennis.
