The United States Grand Tour will be held regularly according to the planned calendar, but without the presence of spectators. The American Slam will thus take place in exactly the dates set at Flushing Meadows, but with closed doors and under a strong austerity regime.

The news became official after talks with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who finally gave his approval for the development of the weekly edition, for more than a year of Jubillar, as it comes to the 140th edition of the US Open grand tour. Last season everything was different, and Rafael Nadal succeeded in defeating Arthur Ase 6-4 at the final set of Russian Daniil Medvedev after a five - hour battle. This year's New York tournament will be held according to scheduled dates -- August 31st through September 13th -- at the Flushing Meadows Corona Park complex in Queens, more precisely at the U.S. Federation National Tennis Center, named after legendary American athlete Billy Jean King.

 

 

Tennis have been met with the condition of free movement, along with other staff members, however by considering numerous statements during these times not all tennis players or tennis players will participate because of the widespread fear of the coronary pandemic. Only on Tuesday in the United States were 25,450 cases recorded, while 849 people lost their lives as a result of the COVID-19 virus. The United States has more than a quarter of the world's registered cases, with 2.2 million cases of infection, of which 119.000 have resulted fatal, so the tennis players' fears are understandable and entirely justified, for more than the season in this sport has been interrupted since the first days of March and are expected to resume at the beginning of August.

There's a lot of frustration and fear about the place where this year's edition will take place because of the very high numbers of people affected by New York's Cranobrian pandemic, despite the very severe austerity measures and isolation imposed by the governor of this state, Andrew Cuomo. New York, the most populated American city, numbers 30,000 victims, so a quarter of the mortality rate in the United States. Part of the most important tennis players have declared they are assessing the possibility of not participating this year in the Food Meadowss. Male spies number 1 of the world, Novak Djokovic, while women have strong doubts about participation in the world's two strongest tennis players at present, world number 1, Australian Ashleigh Barty, and the number 2 overall rankings W TA, Romanian tennis player Simona Halep.

Given the circumstances as well as the state of emergency, after talks with Governor Andree Cuomo this time, organisers have decided that this year's edition of the US Open will have no qualifying matches at all, but also this time in New York there will be no more challenges in “mixed doubles”, that is, a match in a double game where women and men play together. Federation of Tennis head in the United States Mike Dose said participants have a very good chance of proving tennis is exactly the right sport to respect social distance measures. Organisers have made known on social networks the strong measures to be taken, as well as the security plan to be respected by the participants.

Sportsmen traveling to New York will have two rooms at a selected hotel outside the Manhattan Zone. No more than two people in the same room will be allowed to stay, however, the tenists are also allowed the opportunity to rent an apartment or private house again outside the Manhattan Zone, which is understood to be paid at their own expense. Players are not obliged to submit to the quarantine regime, at the moment of entry into the United States territory, but they will still be tested before they begin their adventure at Food Meadows. Tests will be conducted once or twice a week throughout their stay, and sportsmen will also be measured daily.

Each person present, besides the tennis players playing in the field, or training in nearby surroundings, is required of a mandatory mask device. The number of athletes participating in both men and women will be halved from 64 to 32. The participating athletes will have additional facilities in their dressing rooms to reduce the likelihood of infection to a minimum. Australia's problematic tennis player Nick Kyrgios has selfishly named the leaders of the US Open tournament, following their long insistence on definitely developing this year's Slam edition of New York City, coming out in defense of world's number two, Spanish Rafael Nadal, who earlier said there is little desire to play this year at Flushing Meadows.

Nole said it is impossible to take with him just one person from all the staff that has Serbian tennis, however, organisers have not yet specified how many people will be allowed in the interior environments of the Flushing Meadowss. Another difference is that the Masters of Cincinnati this time because of the Corleone pandemic situation will not be held in Ohio but in New York, right at the Billie Jean King complex from August 22nd to 28th. The Federation of Tennis in the United States has a total of $60 million available, and most of this money will be distributed precisely for men and women's and women's tours that will take part in this year's edition, but still 6.6 million of this amount will serve to compensate for the ATP Federation and WTA tennis players affected by the masses, to limit the number of participating athletes.
