Inaccuracy question

Hello. According to the U.S. Open, wheelchair tennis debuted at the U.S. Open in 2005. However, according to this article there are men and women singles champions in the U.S. Open column ranging from 1991. I was wondering if anyone know why there is differing information.

Hi. Edited to add: I just went back to look at the article and can't see any men or women champions for the US Open prior to 2005. Were you looking at Masters? Before I noticed this, I had written this answer, which I leave here as extra info: Wheelchair tennis draws at the 4 Grand Slam events did not always have "grand slam status". As mentioned at the ITF website^[1] the first Australian Open wheelchair tennis tournament that was organized in conjunction with the Grand Slam in Melbourne, actually had "Super Series" status, not Grand Slam. This was in 2002. There were other "Australian Open wheelchair tennis tournaments" before that, but they were organized totally separately from the Grand Slams. To this day, there are two US Opens and two French Opens for wheelchair tennis. One is the historical US/French Open wheelchair tennis event, and has Super Series status, and the other is part of the Grand Slam. (There is no such issue with the British Open, as Wimbledon is never called a "British Open", and the Australian Super Series event is now the Sydney Open). If I remember correctly, at some point the Grand Slams were even called "Masters Series" events, but thankfully they have moved away from this now, and just call them Grand Slams.
