Many top players are experiencing their first bubble environment while playing at the Western & Southern Open in New York. It's good practice, as the US Open will look to maintain the same bubble lifestyle to keep players, staff and coaches safe from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since fans may will not get a chance to see the revamped Flushing Meadows site and what goes on behind-the scenes, coach Sascha Bajin has stepped up to help. The coach of young Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska has shared multiple live Instagram TV videos to share how things are looking in the bubble.

He's walked the grounds, which look very different this year:

And toured the player facilities and lounge (as well as watched Alexander Bublik and many others practice):

The gym is a big part of player routines and physical maintenance while spending weeks at the Billie Jean King USTA National Tennis Center and Bajin didn't leave that off his tour.

Bajin is the former coach of Naomi Osaka and Kristina Maldenovic. His current pupil, Yastremska would take out Venus Williams in the first round followed by a three-set win over Bernarda Pera. She would be out-hit by Osaka in the third round, 6-3, 6-1, but the good news is she'll get more chances next week at the US Open.

Yastremska couldn't help but comment on her coach's statement.

If you want even more from Bajin he did a lengthy Q&A with fans as well.
