Tennis is like golf. Just stay quiet until the point is over and once the server is up to the line again go back to being quiet. Tennis points are almost like a dance with a lot of timing and rhythm. There’s a reason a lot of pros grunt as they use it to time their swings. As a tennis player you are so dialed in that an outside noise can definitely throw off your timing.
Yes and that’s a one-off, really fun thing they have created. You will never get something like that at a major. I love it btw and wish crowds were able to be a little more animated, which they have honestly in both golf and tennis. The US Open for tennis at night is a party.
There are some videos on Connor Ferguson’s Twitter so assuming he will be posting an article. So glad for some CF coverage, although I am guessing they won’t send him to Orlando.
Was very fun to witness some of this today. Entertaining team with an enthusiastic coaching staff.
I think it's great. well maybe not great, but it goes to show that you don't need great facilities to do great things.
My hometown had a ****** cinder track for way too long. They installed it when the u.s. couldn't make up their minds so it was 440 yards instead of 400 meters which isnt a great difference but enough to prevent them from hosting high school meets. As such, up until a few years ago when they finally resized it and installed an all weather track, they hadn't hosted a high school meet in about 30 years. They would have hurdles set up in the parking lot for practice.
In that span the girls track team won something like 20 consecutive conference titles with the boys joining for probably 15 of those. Since the upgrade I'm not sure they've won the conference meet. .
Go to a Ryder Cup. The first tee is like playing out of the end zone at a college football game. It is a riot. People dressed in all kinds of garb, like Halloween meets Mardi Gras meets the Cy-Hawk game.
Its the sudden noise vs constant noise. There's a difference.
Would that be Logan Iowa they had a cinder track when I was in high school and remember running at that meet
I expect KCCI and WHO to send a reporter down to Orlando…
