U.S. Open (table tennis)

Last updated

The annual U.S. Open is the oldest currently running table tennis tournament in the United States. [1] It attracts over 600 athletes annually. [2] The first events were actually run by either the New York Table Tennis Club or the American Ping Pong Association. The first USA Table Tennis (USTTA) [3] tournament was held in 1934.

The U.S. Open has been previously held in various locations, including Anaheim, California; Charlotte, North Carolina; Chicago, Illinois ; Las Vegas, Nevada; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; [4] Grand Rapids, Michigan; [4] [5] and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. [6]

Due to its international nature, most events are played under International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) rules and at times the tournament has been included as an ITTF Pro Tour / World Tour event.
