Something that was annoying me throughout the game.  Seemed like after every service when the ball passed the net you could hear a noise and I was expecting a let call that never came.  Anyone know what the noises were all about?

Yea I was the same. It must have been there foot hitting the deck after the service

I'm glad this wasn't just me. Wasn't just today either, have noticed it all tournament.

Think it was the whip of their pony tails getting picked up by the mics at the back of the court.

Facebook feed already covered in “great day for English tennis” ☹️

 

It was a good day for English tennis.  She’s English after all.  When Andy Murray won it was great for Scottish Tennis. I don’t really see the issue.

I noticed it too.  They said in commentary that a lot of the calls are automated in the US Open - is it some click to indicate to the player receiving the serve that the ball has cleared the net without touching it?  

Actually that seems quite outlandish when I read it back.
