00:00The conditions in New York don't suit everyone. The heat, the noise, the speed.
00:04Who do you think it favors and how did you handle the conditions when you were
00:08over there? Yeah I think it probably Alcaraz. I think it suits his personality.
00:13He loves to play in front of the big crowds as well. He's an entertainment
00:17machine out there. A great shop maker as well and yeah there's a lot going on at
00:23New York and Flushing Meadows and especially during the night matches
00:26there's a lot of noise and music being played very loudly. A lot of screaming
00:29in the crowd. So you've got to try and block that out as much as possible but
00:32you've got to be able to focus on what you can do and go out there. I guess
00:38it's some more of the entertainers can really play well in New York and
00:41especially under the lights.
