World No.7 Alexander Zverev is yet to decide on whether he will play at the US Open as withdrawals begin to mount up for Flushing Meadows.

Zverev has been in action throughout lockdown receiving criticism along the way but he has spoken of the situation in the US not being the best and that he has to consider the safety of his whole team.

"I will see because the situation right now in the US is not that great so I don't know what we will decide with my team," said Zverev.

"I want to play tournaments; but I think the US right now is a little bit of a funny place."

"I think just see how it develops over the next few weeks; if the cases go up (in US), how the travelling will be and if it will be safe," he also said after defeating Felix Auger-Aliassime to win the recent Ultimate Tennis Showdown exhibition in France.

"I might not to go there if I don't feel safe, my team doesn't feel safe. I'm still quite young; but everybody that is involved with me maybe is a little bit older and they're in more danger than I am."
