The United States has recorded the most COVID-19 cases and hence, the US Open had to make the event as safe as possible. They have decided not to allow fans. They are also testing for the virus and are minimizing the number of people required on court. While this is good, some players have found these measures very extreme.

Novak Djokovic was amongst those who were very vocal about the restrictions at the event. He felt that it would be impossible to play with them and he also hinted at skipping the event for the French Open.

Thankfully, despite his reservations about the event, the Serbian star confirmed his participation at the US Open. He admitted that the decision was not easy but that he was now really excited about playing the tournament.

However, the problem regarding participation at the US Open is still not over. There are many other players who are yet to reveal their decisions and they have to do so soon. The event is starting in two weeks – the clock has very much started ticking!
