In this issue

The U.S. Open is a tournament that caters to American fans and prominently features American players. How, then, has a mild-mannered man from Switzerland become so adored by the New York faithful? Part of it is Federer’s deep connection to New York City, a place that actually feels like home to the five-time champion, on and off the court. While this issue will highlight the Open, it will also focus on Federer, and how he has transcended the traditions of fandom, both with those sitting in the nosebleeds and the celebrities watching him up close. Additional feature subjects include: 2017 Hall of Fame inductee Andy Roddick; the most intimate—and intimidating—job in tennis; what you can learn from Serena's pregnancy as a player; the enduring spirit of Venus Williams; and Renee Richards' important legacy.

The Name Game

The US Open faces an interesting challenge. It is dominated by Arthur Ashe Stadium, the largest arena in the world dedicated solely to tennis. But last year, the USTA introduced a stunning new Grandstand to replace the one that was once an appendage of the now-demolished Louis Armstrong Stadium. It cries out for a name —as does Court 17, that gem of an arena that has been neglected since its debut in 2011.

Center Stage

I’m often asked if I get tired of writing about tennis, with the same handful of names always dominating the headlines. After some of the astounding storylines that have unfolded this year—many produced by those familiar names—I’m getting that question less and less. Even more pertinent is this: tennis is at its highest point of popularity in decades.

Court Of Appeals With Rebel Good

First, ask your opponent if she heard you announce the score. If she says she did, that score stands. If she says she didn’t, see what points you agree upon and replay only those you don’t (The Code, Item 32). In this case, by resuming at 30–all, you were conceding she was correct. You can state the score—and ask this opponent if she agrees with the score—before every point the next time you play. That will get old in a hurry.

The Spirit Of The Sisters

“The first time you win, nobody picks you. The last time you win, nobody picks you. You’ve just got to pick yourself.” Tennisplaying philosopher Venus Williams uttered those words at Wimbledon last year. Like so many of Venus’ cosmically inspiring pronouncements, it belongs in any collection of great motivational quotes.
