August 31 is approaching. And it seems that we are moving towards the confirmation of the US Open, the first Grand Slam played after the most acute phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, which coincided with the spring block and the stop to all sports competitions.
In New York and the surrounding area, doubts about health safety remain very high, just as the number of infections in the United States remains very high. Despite this, most of the top-level tennis players have already guaranteed their presence, starting with world number one Novak Djokovic, who finished a few weeks ago in the middle of a storm for the organization of the Adria Tour (during which he and other players have contracted the virus).
At the same time, however, there will be no lack of luxury packages, both in men (especially Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal) and in women, where the announced absence of world number one Ashleigh Barty stands out. A situation which is far from definitive, given that many tennis players and many tennis players will later dissolve the reserve whether or not to enter the “bubble” of the Billie King National Tennis Center.
Rafael Nadal has posted a video on social media where he can be seen complaining about his absence from competitive tennis. Despite retiring from USO in 2020, Rafael Nadal has been working hard recently both on and off the pitch.
Nadal is optimistic about returning to clay court for European swing
“After much thought I have decided not to play in the US Open this year. The situation is very complicated all over the world, the cases of COVID-19 are on the rise, it seems that we are not yet in control.
Not tennis, but we will soon know “- said Rafael Nadal a couple of weeks ago. In 2016, Spanish superstar Rafael Nadal opened his incredible academy.” This has always been one of the biggest challenges, building a great team of people and also a great team of professionals.
In this regard, I am happy, because I believe we have an excellent team of professionals and this gives me great peace of mind. We have coaches with extensive experience in all senses, especially in the professional tour … This group leads the project by creating the working methods and training the coaches who are coming and have a huge desire to learn and work hard “- the former world number 1 explained.
