Grand Slams Research Paper
While I was researching about the US Open, I found some interesting facts that amused me. The US Open is one of the four most important annual tennis event, which are called the Grand Slams. The Grand Slams are only played for a certain amount of time and are all on different dates. I chose the US Open because I've always had questions about the way things were then and now and cant wait to see what happens to it in the future. I believe that the US Open changes a little at a time to improve every time; throughout the history, present, and future. The history of the US Open is quite fascinating.

The scoring got better and the Grand Slams are only played over a certain period of two weeks. Their itinerary consists of the Australian Open in mid January, the French Open in May and June, Wimbledon in June and July, and the US Open in August and September. A big part about the Grand Slams are the scoring. "The scoring in a tennis game, when not prolonged by a tie, goes by a sequence of four points specified as 15, 30, 40, and game, with no or zero points always being referred to by the term love. A tie at 40–all is called deuce, and in such a case play continues until one of the players scores consecutive points, either two or three, to win the game by a margin of two points."

They might make the old Grand Slams a memorial for all the old players or have only the old players kids and there current and future family play on those courts. Anything is possible. The future for tennis is going to have a positive impact on society. The US Open and other Grand Slams go back pretty far. The US Open was founded in 1881, French Open was founded 1891, Australian Open was founded in 1905, and Wimbledon was founded in 1877. I learned so many fascinating facts about tennis and the Grand Slams, especially the US Open, the history be hide them, and how they are all connected. I believed that the US Open would change each time and from my research it changes little by little. From the courts, the crowd, the owners and workers who make it possible,
