NEW YORK -- From his nosebleed seats just under the closed, retractable roof at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Dave Harris had to raise his voice to be heard.Its not exactly what he expected from his first trip to the U.S Open.

Please remain quiet ... Your voices are carrying to the court.Italian player Andreas Seppi was more blunt from his experience on the court. The people, I think, are used to going to baseball and keep talking.Second-seeded Andy Murray noted that the closed Ashe was loud, definitely louder than the retractable-roof stadium at Wimbledon but that it was up to athletes to adjust to such variables. Ultimately, Murray said, it will be up to the fans and the television networks to decide if major changes need to be made.U.S. Tennis Association executive director Gordon Smith said tournament organizers were collecting data on the $150 million roof but that, so far, he hasnt heard a peep of complaints from spectators. Regardless, he said, weve got a new venue, obviously when you enclose a building youre going to expect some additional noise.Its passionate, he said. We want our New York fans to be passionate. Its really a positive, great atmosphere in there.At least one fan watching Murrays match agreed. Liat Haigh of Australia said more important than any noise issue was the relief that she didnt have to worry that her trip to see the U.S. Open wouldnt be ruined by rain.Ive come a long way and I want to see the tennis, she said, dismissing any buzz about the buzz.
