The Western & Southern Open will also be held at Flushing Meadows this year, a precautionary measure taken due to the ongoing pandemic. This has afforded players the opportunity to interact with each other in a manner that was previously unheard of, as they are all housed in the same "bubble".

In addition to sharing housing facilities, the stars of the ATP and WTA also get to practice with each other. Six-time US Open champion Serena Williams was captured training with World No.6 Stefanos Tsitsipas on Arthur Ashe stadium. And from the looks of it, she had no problem handling his daunting first serve.
