Novak Djokovic, a Serbian leader in the world rankings of male tennis players, is still awaiting developments regarding the conduct of the US Open before deciding whether to participate in the U.S. tournament.
“I can’t say yes or no clearly yet, but of course I’d love to race in New York,” the 32-year-old Serbian star said. He added that he is still waiting for exactly what rules and regulations will be in place due to the coronavirus epidemic at the tournament starting on August 31, which the organizers reported on Wednesday.
Djokovic even thought last week that the US Open should not be held at the original time, but now he has reported that he has consulted with representatives of the U.S. federation and the ATP, which organizes the men’s races.
“It’s very likely that even if we have to quarantine, we can use the tracks for training, but now it’s even conceivable that athletes traveling to America don’t have to go to quarantine at all, and that would be fantastic,” said Djokovic, who has done so three times, most recently in 2018. won the US Open.
"I'm in Europe, waiting and seeing things turn out in New York. I still have plenty of time to decide whether or not to travel," Djokovic said.
