New York, New York
The venue of the fourth major is actually reason enough for euphoria and anticipation. Hardly any other city fascinates people around the globe as much as the Big Apple, and if tennis is also played there, all the better. The setting in the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center is more than impressive, the center court alone offers space for 23,000 spectators - a guarantee for atmosphere and goosebumps from the first rally.

Federer and Nadal are out too. New York City - the city of dreams , anything can happen here and maybe in two weeks we will have a player who can celebrate his first Grand Slam victory.
