In 1974, the tournament was nearly dropped from the tennis calendar but moved at the last moment to the Cincinnati Convention Center, where it was played indoors and, for the first time since 1919, without a women's draw.
1974. turnir je gotovo ispao iz teniskog kalendara ali je u posljednji trenutak preseljen u Konvencijski centar Cincinnati, gdje se igrao u zatvorenom prostoru, i po prvi put od 1919., bez ženske konkurencije.
