US Open 2020 to be held on scheduled dates without fans after New York Governor Andrew Cuomo gives go ahead

Firstpost  

Even with the go-ahead from the state, one significant question remains for the US Open: Which players actually will participate? New York: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Tuesday the US Open tennis tournament will held on its scheduled dates starting in late August as part of the state’s reopening from shutdowns caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Cuomo opened Tuesday’s news conference by touting “good news on the numbers, good news on the facts” in New York, which he said now has the lowest number of coronavirus-related hospitalisations since the outbreak began. Also part of the proposal shared with players: The Cincinnati hard-court tournament scheduled for 16-23 August — the USTA is its majority owner — would be moved to New York and held in place of US Open qualifying. Last week, Djokovic said the restrictions that would be in place for the US Open in New York because of the virus would be “extreme.” “Most of the players I have talked to were quite negative on whether they would go there,” Djokovic said.
