Tennis is following suit as the season is resuming with the Cincinnati Masters and then the US Open. However, since the United States has recorded the most COVID-19 cases, many players like Rafael Nadal have withdrawn from the events. This was not great news and unfortunately for the US Open, the problem does not end there.
To prevent the spread of the virus, the event has put many restrictions and players are not happy about it. Novak Djokovic was one of the most vocal about this as he felt it would be ‘impossible’ to play with the restrictions.
