The 1975 US Open was a tennis tournament that took place on the outdoor clay courts at the West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills, Queens, in New York, United States. The tournament ran from 27 August until 7 September. It was the 95th staging of the US Open, and the fourth Grand Slam tennis event of 1975. During the final three years at the Forest Hills location, 1975-1977, the US Open was played on a green-colored Har-Tru clay surface, a surface slightly harder and faster than red clay. The switch came after player complaints about the poor state and uneven ball bounce on the grass courts in Forest Hills.[1]

gollark: I ignore it because it is untestable and should probably not reasonably affect my behaviour.

gollark: It contains a bunch of integration code which is glued together into one process for convenience.

gollark: Perhaps ultimately. It's not exactly just one python script but that's the particularly accursed and custom bit.

gollark: I wonder if there's anything conveniently personal-scale I could apply this sort of thing to without having to release it anywhere but my accursed all-managing python script.

gollark: Sounds cool but probably suffers from the horrible network effects of new social/reviewy stuff.
