The men's singles tournament at the US Open has been played since 1881. Before the start of the Open Era of modern tennis, men revealed the best in the US Championship.
From 1882 to 1911, the tournament was held in two phases: first the applicants tournament was played, and then its winner held a match with last year’s champion if he expressed a desire to defend the title. If last year’s winner did not participate in the competition, the overall title went to the strongest according to the results of the applicants' tournament.
