Spectators at this year's U.S. Open can now freely move around during play, a significant shift from traditional tennis etiquette that restricts movement during games.
2023 U.S. Open semifinalist Ben Shelton commented that the movement of fans didn't distract him during points, reflecting the adaptability of players to the new policy.
Defending champion Coco Gauff, along with other players, expressed that the policy change allowing fans to enter and exit freely during matches doesn't significantly affect their performance.
The new policy at the U.S. Open, similar to what was first tried in the Australian Open, aims to modernize audience experience and enhance energy at matches.
