As Rafael Nadal was described as wavering over defending his US Open title or preparing for an assault on a 13th Roland Garros, Britain's Andy Murray said he fears for the safety of top players as tennis emerges from its five-month coronavirus lockdown.
The US Open will run from August 31 to September 13 on the hard courts of New York with the rescheduled French Open on clay taking place just a fortnight after."I have spoken to Rafa and he is doubting which tournaments to play," Nadal's uncle - and long-time former coach - Toni told ESPN Deportes.
"I think it is a bit ugly what the ATP has done. This decision is totally against players like Rafa and Novak Djokovic." "None of the top players have competed a week before a Slam. The rankings, if you can keep the points as they are, could get a bit skewed." "There are big tournaments every single week and it's going to be very difficult for players that are winning consistently to commit to that many events. I just think we need to be a bit careful with the rankings."
