Words of reassurance from US Open officials fail to quell the top-ranked tennis players' unease of returning to action.
canceled and the tennis season in shutdown, the US Open's status has looked increasingly questionable as its August 31 start date looms ever closer.
Under safety protocols proposed for the tournament, players would be confined to a hotel outside of Manhattan and would only be allowed to bring one member of their entourage to the event. "We believe this is a good plan and believe it is good for the sport. It's good for the tennis economy, creates jobs for you, for coaches, for commentators, for so many people.So far, however, those words of reassurance have failed to quell unease among some of the international tennis circuit's biggest names.
"We would not have access to Manhattan, we would have to sleep in hotels at the airport, to be tested twice or three times per week," Djokovic said."I mean, you need your coach, then a fitness trainer, then a physiotherapist."" about playing in New York, and predicted some would instead switch to the delayed clay court season instead.
