Straight above Penn Station, tennis took the categorical path to prominence.
The Backyard Cup exhibition starring Carlos Alcaraz, Ben Shelton, Emma Navarro and Jessica Pegula rocked a sold-out Madison Sq. Backyard on Wednesday evening.
Greater than 19,000 followers packed MSG to see the all-American girls’s conflict with US Open semifinalist Navarro edging US Open finalist Pegula, who might have hit extra drop photographs in MSG than she did throughout her two-week run to the Flushing Meadows last.
Reigning Roland Garros and Wimbledon winner Alcaraz and 2023 US Open semifinalist Shelton broke some excellent shotmaking to MSG and at one level handed their racquets to a few followers to allow them to fulfill each hacker’s fantasy and hit at The World’s Most Well-known Area.
