British Professional Andy Murray is ecstatic on his return to the US Open. However, for the 3 times Grand Slam winner, lack of audience would be a factor dragging him down. Murray is known for his aggressive notes and using the ambiance to fight for the match. However, he accepts the fact that due to the COVID-19 situation, the audience won’t be there.

“Obviously the atmosphere at the matches is going to be zero”, he said.

Murray admits being a high energy player and using his enthusiasm to express himself. Often controlling his emotions through the regular outbursts, he finds it necessary to make the noise to concentrate.

“Some players do, some players don’t [become a different person on court without crowds]. I guess you just have to try to find what works for you. When I go on the court, if I was basically quiet, not show any emotion and not talk, I’d feel really uncomfortable, very stressed, and uptight. ‘There’s a level of intensity that I feel I need to bring. I feel like I need to make sound on the court, make noise to play my best.”

Roger Federer is known for his cool and calm composure. The Swiss champion is crystal clear with his emotions. Federer has made his name for being the one with ice-cold nerves. On the contrary, Rafael Nadal is aggressive and is known for his loud jeers and fist thumps. Murray definitely brings a perfect comparison to state that expression is just a perfect measurement of how to bring out the best within you.

‘Some guys, like Federer for example, he’s very relaxed off the court, and when he’s on it, that’s the way he appears as well. It obviously works for him. ‘But maybe take someone like Rafa, for example, is quite the opposite – although he’s toned it down a bit as he’s got older. But his first three or four years on the Tour, he was fist-pumping after every single point and using so much energy. ‘Again, it’s getting that balance, to find what works for you. For me, I need to be making some noise on the court.’

Andy Murray in the US Open

Andy Murray received a wild card entry to the US Open after Alexei Popyrin decided not to attend this year. Prior to the US Open, Murray showcased his old self by defeating Alexander Zverev in the round of 32 in the Western and Southern Open. However, he was defeated by Milos Raonic in the round of 16.

Murray would be going in the US Open, but not as the favorites. His injuries kept him away from tennis and he slowly is coming back to the court. However, his skills and experience have the ability to put pressure on heavyweights and even pull out a few upsets.
