Pic 1 is Connors. Pic 2 is the Arthur Ashe court (main court for US open). Pic 3 and 4 you are of Forest Hills. Forest Hills was where US open was played before moving to Flushing Meadows.

So my connect is some Connors-Ashe final at Forest Hills (maybe the last match played at Forest Hills before the venue shift).

One of the pictures show Arthur Ashe stadium. I know that the US open used to be played somewhere else before it moved to flushing meadows. So, I am guessing that was Forest hills which has a clay court and the dude in the first picture won the open there?

Guessing while knowing only 1 out of 4 pictures ;)

Jimmy Connors (Pic 1) the only player to win the US open on three different surfaces hard (Pic 2), grass (Pic 3) and clay (Pic 4).

Pic 2 is at Flushing Meadows (the current US open venue). Pics 3 and 4 are at Forest Hills (the previous US open venue).

Unfortunately no one got this one. Good attempts by Nihil and Rahul.
