“I think the chances of holding the US Open are lower today than they were a week ago,” There are still a lot of unanswered questions before the game resumes. I think a lot of players are hesitant to participate because of all the uncertainty,” Pospisil said.

As the season resumes, ranking points also become important. It’s a very strange situation for the tournament organizers and the players. If a player skips the US Open it would harm the ranking of the player. He/she will be forced to play it causing the players to take a risk on their body. But if ranking points are removed from the tournament, players would easily withdraw from the tournament causing the tournament to lose important bankable assets. And this does concern Pospisil and so he wants the player discussion to sort out all the doubts.

“The problem is that if the standings resume with the U.S. Open, players will be forced to go because it will greatly damage their ranking if they give it up. If the tournament is played without any impact in the rankings, I predict that there will be many players who will pass their turn. I think the players should have a say in this.” said the Canadian.
