Cuomo: U.S. Open Will Be Held Aug. 31 to Sept. 13 in New York City Without Fans

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the 2020 U.S. Open will be held in Queens, N.Y., without fans from Aug. 31 to Sept. 13 as originally scheduled.

"The USTA will take extraordinary precautions to protect players and staff, including robust testing, additional cleaning, extra locker room space, and dedicated housing & transportation," Cuomo said in a tweet.

The U.S. Open, traditionally the fourth Grand Slam on the tennis calendar, will be the second major played this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. The French Open was postponed until late September, while Wimbledon was canceled for the first time since 1945.
