Kyrgios hits out at ‘selfish’ US Open organizers
Australian Nick Kyrgios says the United States Tennis Association is being “selfish” by pressing ahead with the US Open on its original dates from August 31 to September 13.
Multiple media reports on Monday said the USTA would confirm the Grand Slam tournament would go ahead without fans despite New York City still recording hundreds of new COVID-19 cases every day. Novak Djokovic, Ashleigh Barty and Simona Halep have all indicated they would have concerns about playing the tournament under the health protocols designed to keep them safe. Kyrgios, 25, who has been in lockdown in Australia since the pandemic brought a halt to the ATP Tour, appeared more concerned about having to undergo 14 days of self-isolation upon his return home from Flushing Meadows. “People that live in the US of course are pushing (for) the Open to go ahead. ‘Selfish’,” the world No. 40 posted on Twitter. “I’ll get my hazmat suit ready for when I travel from Australia and then have to quarantine for two weeks on my return.”
