MUMBAI: American tennis player Danielle Collins has hit out at men's world number one Novak Djokovic for his opposition to the COVID-19 protocols proposed by the US Open organisers, saying players need to start earning money again.
"This is a serious contradiction," Collins, who made the semi-finals of the 2019 Australian Open, wrote on Instagram."No one has been able to play sanctioned events or make money since February. Collins urged Djokovic, who heads the men's ATP Tour players council, to support the U.S. Open organisers."It's easy when someone's made US$150 million throughout their career to try and tell people what to do with their money, and then turn down playing in the U.S. Open," she said.
Australian Nick Kyrgios presented a contrasting view to Collins and said the US Open plans should be shelved.
