Tipsarevic questions whether US Open will take place: “It will be extremely hard to get the situation under control before the end of August”

Tipsarevic admitted that due to the Coronavirus numbers in the USA; August isn’t looking good; as well as that they leave themselves in a vulnerable position if they go ahead and a player contracts the virus.

"I wouldn't still rule out the possibility of seeing a tennis ball being hit for the rest of 2020; but I consider the US Open a big question mark. I think the United States will be the hardest hit country by the coronavirus pandemic: it will be extremely hard to get the situation under control before the end of August; when the US Open is scheduled to start," Tipsarevic told Sport Klub.

"You probably remember when Eugenie Bouchard fell in the locker room a couple of years ago; sued the US Open; won the case and got compensated a few millions dollars," Tipsarevic added. "Can you imagine a situation in which the tournament organizers decide to proceed with the US Open and a player contracts the coronavirus and has serious consequences. Just imagine that scandal."
