The West Side Tennis Club, historically located in Forest Hills, Queens, New York, holds a distinguished place in the history of tennis. Founded in 1892, it became renowned for hosting the U.S. National Championships (now known as the U.S. Open) from 1915 onwards. The club's Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, with its iconic horseshoe shape, witnessed legendary tennis battles and showcased tennis greats like Bill Tilden, Helen Wills Moody, and more. Over the years, it also became a cultural venue hosting concerts and events. While the U.S. Open moved to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, the West Side Tennis Club continues to serve as a tennis and social club, preserving its rich tennis heritage and offering a space for tennis enthusiasts to enjoy the sport and its historic significance.
