N.Y. Open looks to make mark with court

Moving from Beale Street to Hempstead Turnpike, the inaugural New York Open debuts Monday at Nassau Coliseum with a different tennis look for the ATP tour — black courts.

Most indoor tournaments use blue or green. GF Sports bought the event and partnered with Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment to move it from Memphis, Tenn., to the Coliseum and the organizers wanted to be different.

“The New York Open is a new event and we wanted to make it memorable from Day 1,’’ tournament director Josh Ripple told The Post. “Petitioning the ATP for black courts was a way to do something different and we’re thrilled with how the courts have come together. Fans are in for a special experience.”

It’s also noted the Brooklyn group has a fondness for black. The conglomeration also runs Barclays Center, home to the Nets, whose color scheme happens to be black and white. The inaugural Laver Cup, an exhibition event played in the Czech Republic, was the first to use black courts — manufactured in Germany — last September.

An ATP staple, it was called the Memphis Open for 41 years before declining atten- dance led to it moving. Perhaps the nosedive of American men’s tennis was a factor, but a new group is emerging to give a shot of adrenaline for U.S. tennis and perhaps the New York Open.

Among the Americans in the field are Sam Querrey, a Wimbledon semifinalist, the hard-hitting young phenom Frances Tiafoe, Donald Young, Ryan Harrison and longtime American veteran John Isner. U.S. Open finalist Kevin Anderson, who is from Australia, will also play.

There’s some local flavor. In their first matchup ever, Long Island’s Noah Rubin will face Japan’s Kei Nishikori, a former U.S. Open finalist.
