'Most of the players I've talked to so far have a rather negative view of the possibility of going,' says world No. 1 Novak Djokovic.

However, New York was the epicenter of the outbreak in the US and the authorities and organizers have drawn up a list of hygiene rules that Djokovic says may mean taking part may not be worth it.He repeated his objection to the 14-day quarantine period for players arriving in the United States and the restriction to a one-person entourage and his complaint that players would not be allowed to stay in Manhattan but would be housed in airport hotels near the tournament.

"These are pretty extreme conditions and I don't know if they are sustainable. Most of the players I've talked to so far have a rather negative view of the possibility of going," he said. "Of course, we would all like to return to the courts as soon as possible and play tournaments, the ones before the US Open and the US Open and I hope they will take place but there has to be a compromise between the organizers and the players. We'll see if it will happen.”Women's world No. 1 Ashleigh Barty has also voiced caution about resuming tennis too soon, saying she needed more information before committing to the tournament.
