NEW YORK: Ivan Lendl, Monica Seles and Billie Jean King took a walk down memory lane at a joint appearance, reminiscing about the thrills of playing – and winning – the US Open Tennis Tournament.
“If you like noise and confusion and hoopla and fun and just a lot of noise pollution, then New York’s where you want to be,” four-time winner King told a crowd gathered at Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan on Tuesday, where a large screen has been set up to televise the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seles, a two-time US Open winner sidelined this year due to a stress fracture, agreed. “The best crowd is definitely the US Open \u2026 they know their tennis and they really just get into it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lendl, a Czech national who competed against American favorites such as John McEnroe, said he enjoyed playing even when the crowd was less than supportive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I always felt you draw from the crowd no matter what,” said Lendl, who won the US Open in 1985, 1986 and 1987.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
