Many players are worried about the coronavirus and that is why they have decided not to play the event. Elina Svitolina is one of those players and she announced her withdrawal in a recent tweet. She said,
“Considering all aspects, I have decided not to play the US Open 2020. I want to thank the USTA, organizers and WTA for giving players a chance to play and fans a chance to watch this great event. I understand and respect all the efforts they are putting in to make it happen in a safe environment, but I still don’t feel comfortable to travel to US without putting my team and myself at high risk. ”

Another addition to the growing list of US Open withdrawals is Kiki Bertens. She is also worried about the pandemic as in a recent Instagram post, she said,
“I have decided not to go to the states for Cincinnati and the Us open. The situation around COVID-19 is still that worrying and the health of everyone and the control over this virus is priority. Our prime minister indicated yesterday that we should be quarantined for 14 days after coming back from the states. Off course we respect this as a team and this would disturb our preparation for my beloved clay court tournaments in Rome and Paris.”
Clearly, the participation at the US Open is not looking good. Many top players have withdrawn from the event and if more players do so, the event may be canceled. Hopefully, that does not happen and the event is a grand success this year.
