Voce principale: US Open 1975.
The 1975 edition of the tournament marks two important novelties in the history of the event: for the first time the night session with artificial lights is introduced, and above all in Forest Hills the surface is changed, from the traditional grass to the green ground also known as har-savvy. This type of surface wanted to be a compromise between the fast grass and the slow red soil of Roland Garros. His stay at the West Side Tennis Club, which hosts the tournament since 1915, will last only 3 years.
Spaniard Manuel Orantes, wounded by an unusual typhus in favor of a non-American player, beat Jimmy Connors for 6-4 6-3 6-3 in the final, winning the first Grand Slam Grand Slam tournament. Orantes won a $ 25,000 win for this win. Orantes before landing in the final had beaten Guillermo Vilas's land defender in semifinals by rebuilding from a drawdown of 2 set to 1 in the quarter and a gap of 0-5 saving 3 match points in the 6th game and 2 more in the seventh.
