The two major associations are described below

ATP Tour
In 1988 members of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) convened a press conference in the parking lot at the US Open to announce to the world that they were taking over control of the game. The use of the parking lot emphasized the point that they were banned from using on-site facilities by the then ruling body, the Men's Tennis Council. By 1990 a significant number of players as well as tournament directors had signed up.


This has evolved into something that is quite unique in the sporting world, an equal partnership between players and tournament organizers. In January 2001 the ATP Tour name was shortened to ATP
.

WTA Tour
The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) went through a similar battle as the ATP to improve the lot of women tennis professionals. Back in 1970, women were being paid only one third of the prize money that men were earning.
 

It took a handful of determined players to buck the system and start up their own 3 tournament circuit.
In the following year this grew to 19 tournaments and the rest is history. Equal prize money for men and women's now the standard for international tennis.

 

Some facts and History of Us open

 

The US Open has existed for more than 120 years, but there have been many changes over
that time that have shaped the tournament into the modern Grand Slam event as we know it today.

The event was first held in August 1881 as the U.S. National Singles Championship for men,
competing in both singles and doubles. Only clubs that were members of the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association were permitted to enter. The very first Men's champion was Richard D. Sears,
who went on to dominate the event for the next six years. The championships were staged at the
Newport Casino, Newport, Rhode Island.

THE EARLY HISTORY OF REAL TENNIS

Real Tennis as it is called in Britain, Royal Tennis as it is called in Australia, Court Tennis as it is called in the States, Jeu de Paume as it is called in France or Tennis as it is properly known, is the oldest of all the racket games, and unlike most of the others, such as squash or lawn tennis, it is a product of evolution rather than pure invention.

 The game started to form into something recognizable in the 11th century. It started as hand ball, played by monks around the cloisters of monasteries in Italy and France, much as schoolchildren do in any appropriate corner of their school, and rules varied to suit local whims and conditions. Gradually, as monks traveled to other monasteries, the more enjoyable rules were more generally adopted, the more bizarre rules abandoned and people started to add features to their courtyards that improved the pastime, and demolish or modify others that detracted from it. The monks enjoyed the game so much that the Pope banned the playing of it, and by the 14th century the game had spread from cloister to castle and become a game of the nobility.
