In the latest sports
news, we have heard that the US open is finally happening! From August 24th to
September 13th, most of the matches will be held as per the schedule but a lot
of players are not agreeing to the terms and conditions due to the pandemic.

Novak Djokovic, Simona Halep, Ashleigh Barty, and Rafael Nadal have shared
their concerns with the management while Roger Federer has completely dropped
out of the US Open and all the future tournaments of 2020. The coronavirus
pandemic is still a cause of periodic deaths in the United States so we
understand the reluctance of the players, especially since the matches will be
conducted without an audience.

 

No doubles draw and no
mixed, junior or wheelchair draws will be played so we can already predict the
kind of tournaments it will be. A lot of players are angry with the decision of
holding the US Open at all but others like Serena Williams and Andy Murray have
expressed excitement.

 

So what do you say,
should players risk their health and join the tournament?
