One of the great things about the Olympus U.S. Open Series is the fans really get involved in the action leading up to the U.S. Open.

ESPN2 and Tennis Channel share the broadcasting duties, and they share the broadcast studio tent that is adjacent to Stadium Court.  This is a great idea and I'm glad it's done the entire run to Flushing Meadows.  The winning players are pulled off the court still dripping with sweat seconds after shaking hands and get to do a quick or sometimes a longer interview, as happened yesterday with Kevin Anderson's match and Tennis Channel still having 30 minutes to fill. 

The Atlanta fans love this as evidenced by all the Georgia Bulldog fans barking when John Isner was being interviewed.
