Mentally I'm planning for US Open to go ahead, says Murray

TIL Desk Sports/ Britains Andy Murray will be apprehensive about travelling to New York for the US Open amid the COVID-19 pandemic but the former world number is mentally prepared for the Grand Slam.

The US Open is due to start on August 31 behind closed doors at the Flushing Meadows. “Four or five weeks ago, we were pretty sceptical about it,” Murray said.”But mentally at some stage you need to start preparing and planning for that.

“If it wasn’t happening, my schedule for practising, my rehab, would all be a bit different. Mentally I’m planning for it to go ahead,” he added.

The United States has the highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the world. “The issue for us is the travel, so we’ll probably be a bit apprehensive getting over there,” Murray continued.
