Why is the entry for the tennis event the only one that doesn't use periods in the "US" part? Shymian (talk) 01:10, 13 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

It isn't. Some prefer one spelling, some the other, and official event names even differ on the matter. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō Contribs. 22:45, 13 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
The tennis tournament is referenced as "US Open" in many official publications (including logos), and the USTA owns that trademark. In contrast, "U.S. Open" is owned by the USGA, and so their logo has the stops in it. Starwrath (talk) 21:37, 20 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
