The US Open will be on its original date! Strict measures, however, bother several world stars

The US Open will be! Even on the original scheduled date. But the problem is the strict measures the tennis players will have to follow. Some stars are thinking very hard about their participation. Neither Petra Kvitova nor Novak Djokovic like it.

The world tennis season was suspended in mid-March. For example, Wimbledon was cancelled and the French Open was postponed. However, the US Open will be played on its original date. Interestingly, the French Open will start the week after.

The US Grand Slam will be held between 31 August and 13 September. Without spectators, of course. However, the measures that the stars of world tennis will have to observe are not of the mildest.

In fact, the players will only be able to wander between the courts and the hotel. To last 14 days in this mode? Almost unimaginable. No wonder, then, that Novak Djokovic, for example, has described the measures as extreme and untenable. Even Rafael Nadal and Nick Kyrgios are not too keen. Neither is Petra Kvitova.

“Honestly, I don’t really want to go there. We can have fewer people with us, we’ll be living in a bubble and only traveling between the hotel and tennis and we can’t do anything or enjoy the tournament properly. And most importantly, it’s going to be played without spectators, which for me is the biggest evil there would be,” the two-time Wimbledon champion let slip. Barbora Strýcová feels the same way.

Moreover, Kvitova revealed that she doesn’t want most of the players. But many girls will go because it is an opportunity to earn money after a long time. “I don’t know if I can be locked up in America for three or four weeks. I also need to get out, go for a walk. And the US Open without people is not the US Open. They put on a tremendous show, everybody loves the night session there,” she added.
