[New Tang Dynasty Beijing Time August 28, 2024]The “U.S. Open” kicked off in New York on the 26th. Fans from all over the world rushed to see the last Grand Slam event of the year. Let’s follow the reporter to feel the warm atmosphere on the scene.
Reporter: “We are at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York, and behind me there is a huge crowd. Everyone is looking forward to the exciting matches brought by these tennis players.”
Annette, a Long Island resident: “I have loved tennis since I was a child. I have always followed tennis and I am glad that I live close to the game so that I can come and watch it in person.”
Amaury, a viewer from Paris: “The people here are very warm and relaxed.”
Mia, a Chinese fan from New Jersey: “I think it’s very interesting. Everyone loves tennis. I didn’t expect there would be so many people and it would be so lively. I feel like I’m also driven by the atmosphere.”
Morgan, a New Jersey resident: “I like the traditions of the game, like the drinks and stuff. I like the honey double cocktail with the melon balls on top.”
Honey Deuce has been the official drink of the US Open for many years, and spectators will have a cocktail to add to the atmosphere of the event.
Felix, a fan from Quebec: “This is a classic cocktail at the US Open. It maintains consistent quality and tastes great.”
The reporter asked: “Isn’t it as delicious as you imagined?”
Amaury, a viewer from Paris: “Hmm… (no comment)”
Giorgia, a fan from Italy: “I support Jannik Sinner. I am Italian.”
Long Island resident David: “I have been watching the US Open for 20 years. I support Sinner. He has been in controversy recently (doping allegations), so I come to support him. I think Sinner is an excellent player.”
The 23-year-old Italian tennis star Sinner tested positive for doping in March. The judge eventually acquitted him, and most players and spectators expressed trust in the decision.
Mia: “We came to support Zheng Qinwen and Zhang Zhizhen. We came this year because many Chinese players came here to participate, so we came to watch it specially.”
Annette, a Long Island resident: “I like Naomi Osaka’s enthusiasm and sharing her difficulties on social media. She is so nice.”
Ann, a fan from Chicago: “I support Novak Djokovic. I think he will win the US Open. He has performed well and I enjoy his games.”
The 37-year-old tennis king Novak Djokovic had just won the gold medal at the Paris Olympics and immediately entered the US Open. He had previously won 24 Grand Slam singles titles.
Felix: “I want someone else to win, not Carlos Alcaraz, not Novak Djokovic, I want someone else to win.”
Reporter: “This year’s US Open total prize money is as high as 75 million US dollars, 15% higher than last year. The men’s and women’s singles champions will each receive 3.6 million US dollars.”
