The ATP meets urgently today with the tennis players to tackle the American tour

The Professional Tennis Association (ATP) will organize an emergency meeting with the tennis players today so that all doubts about the calendar, the trip to the United States or possible quarantines can be clarified, once they return to Europe in mid-September , with the aim of playing the Masters 1,000 in Madrid, Rome and Roland Garros normally.

The names of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal already seem confirmed for the Mutua Madrid Open, starting on September 14, which complicates the appearance of both in the American US Open in the event that they had to pass a quarantine after the return. In addition, the situation in the American country is getting worse, on Saturday more than 70,000 cases were recorded for the first time in a single day.

There are many tennis players who will no longer lose ranking points by not appearing in the famous tournament in Washington and the two in New York, so it will not be strange to see that the athletes focus solely on the ground tour, by far That means losing the US Open.

The organization will have another remote meeting with the coaches on Wednesday to clarify issues that exclusively affect tennis coaches. Among other issues, the organization of access to sports venues and the preparation of medical insurance are of particular concern so that they can be attended to in the event of contracting the disease.
