World number one Novak Djokovic described the strict hygiene restrictions under which the US Open is likely to be played as "extreme" and a cap on support teams as "really impossible" on Friday.
"The rules that they told us that we would have to respect to be there, to play at all, they are extreme." "All their suggestions are really rigorous but I can understand that due to financial reasons, due to already existing contracts, organisers held. We will see what will happen."Djokovic was speaking a day after world number two Rafael Nadal had expressed similar reservations over the US Open, the main draw for which starts on August 31.
The tennis tour has been in cold storage since mid-March and will not resume until late July at the earliest.
