Alcaraz Refuses Umpire's Rule

Have you ever thought of tennis being played at an amusement park? Well, it has been done before! Back in 1975, the Cincinnati Open, which was called the Western Championships at the time, moved to Coney Island along the Ohio River. The tournament had been struggling with attendance, so this bold move brought it back to life. Matches were played on outdoor hard courts at the Sunlite Swim and Tennis Club right inside Old Coney. Picture this: tennis with the smell of popcorn in the air, roller coasters whizzing by, and a lively carnival atmosphere. Definitely not your typical quiet country club vibe!
