What was left of the US Open - shoes, for example
Thanks to Andy Roddick that a beautiful tradition at the US Open is also mentioned in public.

Alexander Zverev is not known to undergo a complete wardrobe change during a match. So when the German number one does heavy work for several hours in the New York heat, it is usually in the same pair of shoes. With a corresponding load on the slippers. Olfactory and in general. Who would want a pair of shoes like this? Probably some of the die-hard tennis fans.
Anyone who volunteers at the US Open now has no bad chance of taking home a pair of worn shoes as a souvenir. As Andy Roddick, the last American winner at the US Open, recalled on Twitter, many cracks leave one or more pairs of worn competition shoes for the hard-working helpers.
Roddick left it open for which shoes there is the greatest demand. The winning goats, however, could also find a very special prospect: the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Memorabilia of all kinds are collected there. And the clothes and shoes worn by the historical winners Emma Raducan (first qualifier with a major win!) And Novak Djokovic (first calendar Grand Slam since Rod Laver) would certainly find grateful buyers there.
