Russia's Daniil Medvedev had no doubts about playing this year's U.S. Open in New York despite the novel coronavirus pandemic causing several high-profile players to withdraw from both sides of the draw.
The world number five is the third seed in the men's draw, behind Novak Djokovic and Dominic Thiem, for the Grand Slam tournament that starts on Monday."I don't think I ever really doubted playing here," the 24-year-old told reporters at Flushing Meadows on Saturday."I was almost sure I will come here.
Medvedev added that he felt safe with the bio-security measures put in place by tournament organisers, which includes playing without crowds."I think it's a good bubble."
