US Open day two: the social round-up

It was an interesting day two at the US Open, with the weather causing Donna Vekic, Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Benoit Paire to trade their tennis racquets for an umbrella:

Aussies Ash Barty and John Millman decided the indoor practice courts were the best place to be:

Johnny was always kind enough to hit with me back when I was 10yrs old. From juniors to slams – nothing has changed ???? Legend! @johnhmillman pic.twitter.com/d5NjaUJMR5

Simona Halep shared some reflections and coaching news:

Yesterday during the press i ve been asked if i think about myself that i m an unlucky person..well not really. I m really lucky person actually for everything i have around me. My life, my family, my friends and my TEAM and of course the tennis! Yes, for sure is not the result i wanted here but life knows what it is doing with you, always. After yesterday , i know that i have to keep working hard to get better! Now i also want to tell you that Andrei Pavel is a member of my team. It s an honor for me to have him around. I m sure that i have many things to learn from his experience and advice. Nothing changes with Darren, everything will be the same???????? Now i know that the boys are sick of me so it s time to get lost and relax but very soon back to work! ???????????? Thank you boys for being by my side every moment! @theocer @dc10s???????? @stefansodolescu

The mood is better on the ATP Tour, where world No.4 doubles player Marcelo Melo crashed world No.6 singles player Alexander Zverev’s press conference:
