The 1913 U.S. National Championships (now known as the US Open) took place on the outdoor grass courts at the Newport Casino in Newport, USA. The men's singles tournament ran from 18 August until 26 August while the women's singles and doubles championship took place from 9 June to 14 June at the Philadelphia Cricket Club in Chestnut Hill. It was the 33rd staging of the U.S. National Championships, and the third Grand Slam tennis event of the year. Future seven-time singles champion Bill Tilden won his first U.S. Championship title, partnering Mary Browne in the mixed doubles.
Famous quotes containing the word national:
“You are, or you are not the President of The National University Law School. If you are its President I wish to say to you that I have been passed through the curriculum of study of that school, and am entitled to, and demand my Diploma. If you are not its President then I ask you to take your name from its papers, and not hold out to the world to be what you are not.”
—Belva Lockwood (1830–1917)
