揑 remember when Iwas that age, and I would have loved to got to play with Andre Agassi(???-???) and Pete Sampras(??-????).

But these aren'tjust any kids. All of their families were impacted by super storm Sandy. Manyyet still struggling to recover, which is why Murray and Serena Williams, bothdefending US open singles champs, are spending this precious pre-tournamenttime leading this clinic. 

know that youare very big on getting youth into tennis, why is that so important to you? 

or me it important because I was at a clinic something similar to this, where theyreally got me so excited. I met some professional players, and I was like ow,I want to be there.?

Until today,nine-year-old Joseph Adriano and his six-year-old brother Charlie had neverpicked up a racket. During Sandy, the Adrianos lost one floor of theirhome in Howard Beach Queens and two cars. Today, tennis is providing an escape.
