As with many other sporting events that have resumed after being delayed by coronavirus issues, the U.S. Tennis Association has decided to continue with the tournament under strict orders. For one, players’ entourages are limited to three and COVID-19 swabs are taking place frequently, according to The Star Ledger. Like the NBA bubble, this year’s U.S. Open participants also have designated living areas, with most staying in two hotels on Long Island while, eight decided to live in private housing.
The competition will also be missing a lot of tennis’s biggest champions. While Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic will be holding it down for the living legends, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer will not be playing this go-round. The latter had to sit out due to two knee surgeries. Six of the top eight women also withdrew.
