All that you have to know for the US Open
The 140th US Open is planned to occur from Aug. 31-Sept. 13 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York. The current year’s US Open will be not normal for some other, with new wellbeing and security conventions set up due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Fans won’t go to the competition for wellbeing reasons, as COVID-19 cases keep on representing an issue for the country. A portion of the world’s top players have chosen to quit, refering to wellbeing worries for themselves just as others in the midst of the pandemic.
Guarding champions Rafael Nadal and Bianca Andresscu, alongside WTA No. 1 Ashleigh Barty and No. 2 Simona Halep, are a portion of the stars who reported they’ll avoid the current year’s occasion because of the pandemic. Five-time champ Roger Federer is out of the competition with a knee injury.
There are a few stars who will play, with their eyes on another US Open title, notwithstanding. In the women’s draw, six-time champion Serena Williams (+500) and 2018 victor Naomi Osaka (+600) are the top picks, and in the men’s draw three-time champ Novak Djokovic (- 125) and ATP world No. 5 Daniil Medvedev (+600) lead the field.
