Murray Calls Life At The US Open As Chaos

Andy Murray cannot help but contrast the calm ambience of Wimbledon to the chaos and noise of the US Open.

 

But as current holder of both grand slam titles, the third seed at Flushing Meadows has learned to accept both in his stride. With the occasional jet flying overhead and constant buzz and chatter on the ground – not to mention full-on yelling at some of the more rowdy and alcohol-fuelled night sessions – the Open is by far the most “animated” of the majors.

 

But Murray can’t be bothered to get worked up over a situation which he knows will never change. “At this tournament on all of the big courts it’s very different to Wimbledon. But it’s something that you need to enjoy about the tournament. It’s quite loud. There’s always noise during the points.”

Murray said that constant talking around all courts also comes with the New York territory. “Whereas at Wimbledon it’s pretty much silence. It’s a different atmosphere (Here), and one that I enjoy when I came here the first time as a kid playing the juniors. You just have to get used to it each time you come back. All of the slams are very, very different atmospheres.”
