Defending champion Novak Djokovic suffers shock defeat to Alexei Popyrin, blames exhaustion
The multi-tier Arthur Ashe Stadium has a presence even when empty. The US Open's show court, with a capacity of approximately 24,000, is the biggest of tennis' four majors. The other three have main arenas with just under 15,000 seating. More voices translates to louder atmosphere, a good section of which is fuelled by Honey Deuce, the cocktail of the championships. Ashe is a daunting experience, even as a spectator, but as a pro engaged in a weekend night session, there are few evenings in sport that compare.
