The U.S. Open Series is the heart of the summer hard courts season with Masters 1000 titles in Canada and Cincinnati. The third and most important tournament is the final Grand Slam event of the year, the U.S. Open in New York.

This week’s Canada Open will soon award the Rogers Cup to someone in men’s tennis, but how likely is it that this champion will win the U.S. Open in September? How well does Canada or Cincinnati predict the eventual U.S. Open winner?

We examined all three venues in the Open era to identify multiple winners at each of these tournaments. What does this mean in terms of winning the U.S. Open?

Additionally, we break down the last 20 years (1994-2013) of how often the winners of Canada and Cincinnati go on to win the U.S. Open. Which tournament is the more important predictor of identifying the year’s final Grand Slam titleholder?



 

Canada: Multiple Titles

Guillermo Vilas       2 titles (1974, '76)

John McEnroe         2 titles (1984-85)

Ivan Lendl              6 titles (1980-81, '83, 87-89)
