Simona Halep: Wimbledon champion expresses US Open worries

Wimbledon champion Simona Halep says she is still a "little bit worried" about playing in this year's US Open.

With Wimbledon cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic, the US Open is set to be the first Grand Slam played since the tennis tours were suspended.

The event will be played behind closed doors in New York from 31 August.

On her US Open plans, Halep told the BBC's Wimbledon: The Best of the Championships: "It will be a little difficult, it depends on restrictions."

The world number two said she was "a little bit worried to make that move".
