TIL Desk Sports/ Britain’s Dan Evans believes Novak Djokovic’s concerns about players having only one member of their support staff at the U.S. Open does not apply to the majority of the field and compromises should be made when action resumes.
The US Open organisers are assessing safety measures for the tournament scheduled to begin on Aug. 31 without spectators after the COVID-19 pandemic stalled the season in March.
World number one Djokovic said hosting the tournament would be impossible due to ‘extreme’ COVID-19 protocols, but Evans said there has to be some ‘give and take’ from the players.
“I don’t think having one person of your team only allowed is such a big deal – the majority of the draw would only travel with one coach,” Evans told.
