They’ve all held court at the more than century-old West Side Tennis Club in Queens’ Forest Hills neighborhood - for six decades the site of the U.S. Open Tennis Championships. Plans are now in the works for the grassy lawn to come alive again with the sound of music, starting with a concert featuring the British band Mumford & Sons, to be followed by a lineup of world-class musicians.
