Noises of the U.S. Open | 
New York, New York – You’re trying to hit tennis balls, get your body going, feel the ball, feel the conditions, and find a sense of balance in NYC. Then before you know it you’re swept up in the chaos that is the city that never sleeps and gets right in your face like a crowded subway car. Welcome to the U.S. Open.
There’s an annoying weed wacker kicking up dust and shrubs like a mini sand typhoon into your court. Commercial and private jets are flying overhead, the private ones are the loudest. Loud mouthed New Yorkers. Food processors and blenders whizzing, buzzing, and beeping in the background and you can’t hear the score being called. Obnoxious fans talking on their cell phones while at the same time asking who’s playing. Old timers mingle in the shade or on the outskirts, arguing about nonexistent strokes. Passionate fans unable to contain their excitement, screaming children, and a constant hum of activity seem to plague the sound waves at this year’s U.S. Open. And this is all before a single ball from the main draw has been struck.
New York, the home of big time shows, big personalities, and big productions. No wonder the U.S. Open is the “biggest” tournament in the world. And funny enough, despite all the raucous distractions, the players respond to this energy and drama in a phenomenal way as they continue to produce some of the most memorable matches in our sport’s history. Who says noise, tennis, and New York don’t mix? Sounds like the perfect match.
