The US Open is the only Grand Slam that has been played continuously every year since its establishment and the novel coronavirus pandemic will not break that tradition, as Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York State have given a green light to the hosting of the 2020 US Open and 2020 Western & Southern Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
Mike Dowse, USTA Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director, stated:
We recognize the tremendous responsibility of hosting one of the first global sporting events in these challenging times, and we will do so in the safest manner possible, mitigating all potential risks.
