Shortly before midday on Monday, the LED screens behind each baseline of Arthur Ashe Stadium began to burn bright yellow and supporters streaming towards their seats were met with a three-word indication of what lay in wait: ‘Kids On Court’.
The message appeared as a bunch of children invaded the show court on opening day of the US Open. They were from nearby, New York’s Carefree Racquet Club, and their job was to ‘show us what the next generation is all about’.
It was a fitting appetizer – before long, the mini nets had been collected and the court was cleared for another couple of youngsters to take center stage. On Monday, Ben Shelton, 21, and , 20, were first and second on Arthur Ashe. Together they tasked with lighting the fuse on this US Open.
