After months of absolutely no tennis, everybody will be happy that many exhibitions are starting. The first exhibition was Novak Djokovic’s Adria Tour, then came Patrick Mouratoglou’s Ultimate Tennis Showdown and now we have the Battle of the Brits.

In addition to all this, there is going to be a return to professional tennis. After months of speculation, the US Open finally confirmed that the event will be taking place which is great news. But the tournament is going to have some restrictions due to the situation with the virus.

One of those restrictions is that fans will not be allowed inside the arena. This is something that no tennis fan will be happy about but is something that is necessary. Hopefully, despite all the restrictions, the 2020 US Open will still be a grand success.
