The challenge round system was abolished with the 1912 edition. The All-Comers winner was awarded the title six times ( 1888, 1893, 1898, 1901, 1904, 1907) in the absence of the previous year's champion. From 1884 to 1911, the event started with a knockout phase, the All-Comers singles, whose winner faced the defending champion in a challenge round. The men's singles' rules have undergone several changes since the first edition. The USTA is the national body that organizes this event. The inaugural tournament, in 1881, was reserved for United States National Lawn Tennis Association (USNLTA) club members, before the championships opened to international competitors in 1882. Newport (1881–1914), Forest Hills (1915–1920, 1924–1977), and Philadelphia (1921–1923) held the event before it settled in 1978 at the USTA National Tennis Center, now the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, in New York City. The US Open is played during a two-week period in late August and early September, and has been chronologically the last of the four Grand Slam tournaments of the tennis season since 1987. It is played on outdoor hard courts at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows – Corona Park, New York City, United States. The US Open men's singles championship is an annual tennis tournament that is part of the US Open and was established in 1881. USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center
