The US Open 2024 has a curious policy regarding the balls, consisting of women's balls weighing less than men's. Considering the increasing power of women's tennis and the fact that most play flatter than men, who are more inclined to apply spin, this doesn't seem to make much sense. This was expressed by Danish player Clara Tauson in bt.dk. "Our balls fly a lot, even though we play closer to the baseline and hit flatter. It doesn't make sense to play with lighter balls, and many other female players agree with me. Whenever I've tried men's balls, in practice sessions, I felt like I was truly playing tennis again," she concludes.
