The tournament ran from 4 September until 13 September. It was the 79th staging of the U.S. National Championships, and the fourth Grand Slam tennis event of the year.
Famous quotes containing the word national:
“Mr. Christian, it is about time for many people to begin to come to the White House to discuss different phases of the coal strike. When anybody comes, if his special problem concerns the state, refer him to the governor of Pennsylvania. If his problem has a national phase, refer him to the United States Coal Commission. In no event bring him to me.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
