Berlin tennis event chief casts doubt on US Open

"I think it is realistic that the ladies' tour will start in Europe at the beginning of August as planned," Barbara Rittner, captain of Germany's Fed Cup team and director of this week's Berlin tournament told newspaper Berliner Morgenpost."But in view of the immensely high numbers of infections throughout America, I don't see the US Open taking place in New York at the end of August, mainly because the travel restrictions are high.

Hygiene has been strictly observed at this week's Bett1Aces exhibition tournament in Berlin, which Rittner is overseeing. The event is being used as a model for the ATP and WTA, the men's and women's tennis tours respectively, which are due to next month. Spectators and players in Berlin had their temperatures monitored and upon arrival, had to walk through a machine which sprays them with disinfectant. The extra hygiene measures reflected in the ticket price of 120 to 150 euros with the daily crowds well under the 1,000-capacity at the Steffi Graf Stadium in west Berlin."So far, everything has gone smoothly. You really have to compliment the players and their teams," added Rittner.
