.serenawilliams confirmed she will play at this year's USOpen without fans in attendance
- Fears that strict health protocols due to the COVID-19 outbreak could deter the game’s biggest names from competing at this year’s U.S. Open were somewhat allayed on Wednesday when Serena Williams confirmed she will play the New York event.
“I feel like the USTA is going to do a really good job of ensuring everything is amazing and everything is perfect and everyone is safe.” The decision will impact the upper echelon of players who typically travel to events with a coach, hitting partner, physiotherapist and fitness guru. Testing will be conducted before travelling to the United States and 1-2 times per week at both events along with daily temperature checks.
