The United States Tennis Association (USTA) will hold the US Open this year without fans amid the Covid-19 outbreak even though some top players have expressed concerns about attending the tournament due to the virus, according to multiple reports. Forbes, which cited unnamed sources, said the men’s ATP Tour and the WTA, which runs the women’s circuit, are both expected to approve a plan for the August 31-September 13 event in New York and that a formal announcement is due soon. The USTA’s agreements with the men’s and women’s tours are “happening or almost there,” one source told Forbes.
