Players need assurance that they would not face mandatory quarantine upon returning to Europe from the US Open before travelling to New York amid the Covid-19 pandemic, former world No 1 Andy Murray has said.
Organisers United States Tennis Association (USTA) will set up a strict bio-security ‘bubble’ to minimise the risk of contracting the novel coronavirus during the Grand Slam, which will be played from 31 August – 13 September.
The Western & Southern Open, which was relocated from Cincinnati this year because of Covid-19, will also be held in New York from 20-28 August and will serve as a tune-up for the hardcourt Grand Slam.
