In just three weeks at the U.S. Open, this team is expected to string and restring around 8,000 tennis rackets, making sure the tension of each one is exactly what the tennis pros need. Sometimes, that means being on their feet and working late into the night. TIME talked... show more

The ball crew is one of the most coveted jobs in tennis, and it’s just as competitive. This year, 3,500 people applied to be part of the U.S. Open ball crew, but only 130 were selected to work alongside some of the world’s top tennis players. The good news, though, is that anyone 14 and older can apply and try out for the team. TIME went behind the scenes to see what it takes to make the cut.

“I like to have the target on my back.” With the U.S. Open main draw beginning on Sunday, Aryna Sabalenka, the world’s top-ranked women’s tennis player, remains in prime position to fulfill her wildest aspirations: a third straight U.S. Open victory. If she wins, despite underperforming at other Grand Slams this year, she would become the first player since Serena Williams to win the tournament three times in a row and just the third woman in the modern era to do so. TIME recently asked Sabalenka who she saw as her biggest competition. Read more here:

Tennis, just like soccer, has been automating officiating at tournaments: this year’s U.S. Open is no exception. The red lights you might have seen on the nets are an extension of the line-calling technology, which replaced line judges on courts by 2022. This is the system making all the “out” calls. TIME video producer Alyona Uvarova spoke with U.S. Open tournament referee Jake Garner about how the technology works.

Carlos Alcaraz was asked if he feels a responsibility as the world #1 to be an ambassador for the good of tennis the way Federer, Nadal, & Djokovic did before him “As the world #1 and one of the biggest names in tennis, do you feel a responsibility to be an ambassador for the sport? To grow it in the way Federer, Nadal, & Djokovic did before you…” Carlos: “Not really. I don’t think about it, being a good ambassador for tennis. But obviously at the same time the way I play, I just try to entertain the people, trying to engage people to watch more tennis. A part of that is.. I’m not thinking that I have to be the best ambassador possible to tennis. It’s just stepping on the court, I’m doing what I love to do. Just playing tennis. That is the best way I can be a good ambassador. It’s about loving what you’re doing and enjoy every single second you step on the court. I think that’s it. That’s all that’s in my mind.” (via Australian Open Press)

🚨UPDATE: The U.S. veteran, who was violently assaulted and illegally arrested by ICE agents in Maryland… has been released with no charges filed. And here’s the part that keeps getting ignored… ICE agents claimed THEY had a video of the U.S. veteran assaulting an agent. But when asked for the video, no video was provided, and the U.S. veteran was released without charges. Meanwhile, there are multiple videos, and eyewitness accounts, showing the U.S. veteran being the one who was assaulted. And this is the pattern that keeps repeating… ICE agents use force and arrest someone without probable cause. The agents create a narrative after the fact. “Evidence” is claimed, but never released. Contradictory footage, from the public, circulates. And still no consequences for the agents involved. Because even after all of this, the agents are still on the streets. And the public is expected to just move on… like this is normal, like this is acceptable, like this is simply how things work now… Instead of acknowledging the pattern that needs to be addressed, and holding agents accountable.

Alex Eala after beating Stoiana at the U.S. Open “You’ve been lighting up tennis courts all year. With that comes countless Filipino flags & a wave of noise. It just seems to get louder every time you play.” 😂 Alex: “Yeah, I don’t know 😭. The support I’ve been getting the past couple of days here in New York, and to be frank, everywhere around the world… I wanna thank the community here in New York. The tennis fans, not just from the Philippines, but who have been making me feel so loved and are so enthusiastic, contributing to the growth of women’s tennis. Thank you everybody for being part of my journey and making it such a pleasure to do my job.” 🇵🇭🥹

Roger Federer was asked why the one-handed backhand is dissappearing from tennis. Starts by saying “I don’t know” then gives an incredible four-part answer: ▫️Modern coaches grew up playing two-handed backhand and passed it down to students. ▫️One-handed backhands take a lot of time to perfect control and coaches/players don’t want to dedicate the time when they can make faster improvements elsewhere. ▫️Tennis went from 50/50 between baseline and net play to 90/10 baseline play (two-handed backhands much more useful for defensive and sliding baseline play). ▫️Equipment for tennis has changed (stiffer strings, modern rackets, heavier balls) and slower surfaces…more difficult to attack with only one hand. *** Tennis Channel link:
