Who do the top pros want to see in the stands during their US Open campaigns? Tennis Channel asked Simona Halep, Ashleigh Barty, Roger Federer and more for their top picks.

Gerald Butler seemed to be a hot commodity as both Halep and Barty selected the Scottish actor. He memorably helped Novak Djokovic celebrate his win in 2015.

Both Halep and Barty survived three-set battles in their opening round matches and are still in the running for this year's prized title.

Halep will face American Taylor Townsend, who she's defeated on all three occasions, and Barty will battle another American, Lauren Davis, for a spot in the tournament's third round.
