PARIS - Rafael Nadal insisted on Thursday tennis"cannot resume until the situation is completely safe" and if the US Open was being played this week, he wouldn't take part.

"We cannot resume until the situation is completely safe and fair in terms of health in that all players, wherever they come from, can travel and play tournaments in safe conditions," Nadal told reporters in a video conference call."In a few months, I don't know.

The ATP and WTA schedules have been on ice since March with action not set to resume until the end of July at the earliest.
