Andy Murray is always excited this time of the year with his favourite Grand Slam approaching. The Scot has had a career-long affinity for the most raucous of the majors and won a junior title before losing the 2008 final to Roger Federer.
"I went there when I was 15 years old. It was the first time we got put up in like a five star hotel when I was a kid. It's a fun place to go to, so I really like that," said the world No. 4.
"It was different compared to all the other junior events. You got to eat in the restaurant with the other players. I got to meet players like Guillermo Coria, he was one of my favorite players growing up.
"I watched Tim Henman and Roger Federer putting on the putting machine before they played the semi-finals when I was 16 or 17. And then when I went and watched some matches on the Arthur Ashe Court, watched Henin against Clijsters final, and also Henman against Federer.
"I thought the atmosphere on that court was the most completely different to other courts in the world. That's why I enjoyed it."
