Andrea Collarini shows around the players’ locker room at the US Open
There is no surprise that the US Open is one of the highest paying tournaments. It is also the tournament with the largest seating capacity in its stadium in New York. However, the players’ locker room has its own charm. The players are able to relax well in the spacious area before their matches, which is extremely important.
In the video it is visible that the room has refrigerators full of refreshments. The resting areas are quite spacious for the players to relax and cool down. There are massage rooms with multiple beds and masseuse as well. It can serve as a beneficial room for the after match effects.
Mirrors, personal lockers, large washrooms, and televisions are few of the things Andrea Collarini has managed to capture in his video. However, he could not describe everything in his video. Twitter can cut him some slack considering his qualifier today.
