MUMBAI: World number two Simona Halep is"highly unlikely" to play in the US Open with organisers set to put strict health protocols in place for the Grand Slam due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a spokeswoman for the Romanian told Reuters.
"Everyone is still waiting on an official announcement of details from the US Open and tours about the season," the spokeswoman said in a statement to Reuters. Her coach Darren Cahill had told Reuters last week the protocols were"incredibly difficult" and would probably not work for the two-times Grand Slam winner.The USTA and men's and women's tours are expected to provide details later on Wednesday.
Men's No. 1 Novak Djokovic and his women's counterpart Ash Barty have also raised concerns about playing in the tournament under health protocols while Nick Kyrgios said the USTA was being"selfish" by opting to go ahead with it.
