Should the US Open be on clay?
NO!!!!!!!!!Would make for a way easier transition for Nadal to go to the French open.
serious note I think it would be sick for the us open to be on grass to make up for Wimbledon and be like the OG us open
The USO was played on clay for many years. Connors won it on clay in 1975 and 1976.

Define many please. 2 or 3 max, and the clay was har tru not real clay . I think that har tru would be a great surface for the openThe USO was played on clay for many years. Connors won it on clay in 1975 and 1976.
This was covered in a post previously in this thread. The US Open was played on green clay - aka Har-Tru - in 1975, 76, and 77.Define many please. 2 or 3 max, and the clay was har tru not real clay . I think that har tru would be a great surface for the open
Real clay is a misnomer
the stones found in Virginia are mixed with a series of binders including gypsum The Red clay of RG is a composite surface too with much of the color coming from crushed brick I believe over limestone, Neither surface is a natural clay but more crushed stone
Well, you seem to know more about clay courts than I.There are 4 types of real clay that have been used for older clay courts. I played on real clay courts in college in New England nearly 60 years ago. The New England brand was brownish and had no binders, The surface itself held water. When left unwatered it became very hard, when too much water was very mushy. But when properly hydrated played very well
blueWhat clay would it be? Red or green?![]()
blue
Didn't Orantes beat him in 75?The USO was played on clay for many years. Connors won it on clay in 1975 and 1976.
You are correct. Connors only won in 76, though he was in all the clay finals. I just looked, he was in every USO final from 74-78.Didn't Orantes beat him in 75?

I started watching in the early 80s.
I think Martina still has the most effective and classic lefty volley the women's game has seen.
Connors was just a likeable and consistent overachiever. His matches against Lendl were classics.
US OPEN 1975-77 (FOREST HILLS - NY)
