Why Nakashima is \u2018a completely different player\u2019<\/a><\/p>\nWhat about the venue? Because you get there, you’re coming from Manhattan, and you see Arthur Ashe Stadium.
That’s also another thing. I remember going around the grounds for the first time and people are going crazy. There’s a lot of music and loud support from all the fans across all the courts. That was something that I remember. It was like this huge event that I was playing in. And it was a shock for me at the beginning, too. <\/p>\n
Do you have a favourite court at the US Open?
I’ve never played on Arthur Ashe before. I’d say favourite for me has to be Court 17. Last year, I had a couple of great matches there, had some great atmosphere on that court, too. That is definitely one of my favourites for sure right now. <\/p>\n
How about a favourite match that you\u2019ve played?
It has to be last year against Musetti in the third round. That match was one of the best atmospheres I’ve played in. People were going crazy all around the court, the whole match. I also had a lot of friends from college there and a lot of my family there. So that was one of my favourite matches in my career so far. <\/p>\n
What about the city of New York? How much do you enjoy that? Is there anything about it you like?
I definitely enjoy it during the tournament there, just everything being so busy there. There\u2019s so much stuff to do when you’re not at the courts, so many nice restaurants that we\u2019re able to go with the team, with some family and friends some evenings. It’s always a nice time in New York. At the end of last year, I spent a couple of days in New York as well, so that was also nice. <\/p>\n
Are there any tourist attractions you like?
I’ve walked around Times Square a bunch and Central Park, too. That’s always nice and relaxing to walk around the park. Other than that, we’ve had a lot of great restaurants, a lot of great dinners there, so those are always fun times too.<\/p>\n
Any favourite restaurant?
I’ve been to Cote, it’s a Korean barbecue place. I also know the owner of Fly Fish Club, which is also a great restaurant and I’ve had some great memories there. There are a bunch of restaurants that I would also like to try that are pretty famous.<\/p>\n
With Wimbledon you think of strawberries and cream. What do you associate the US Open with?
Probably the American fans. They definitely go crazy for the US players, which is always nice. And the atmosphere on the courts, especially at night, is something that you don’t get anywhere else, I think. <\/p>\n
