Doubles player may opt to play at
French Open insteadMurray says
Coronavirus situation “has regressed” in USJamie Murray loves
New York, where he has won four grand slam doubles titles, but he is seriously considering staying in Europe when the rescheduled
US Open begins on 31 August. He suspects he will not be alone.
The tournament and the city are yet to move convincingly from under the cloud of the coronavirus pandemic and Murray is inclined to join
Rafael Nadal, the defending singles champion, and the world No 1
Novak Djokovic, who have said they will probably stay away from Flushing Meadows. If the leading players do not turn up, there are more opportunities at the highest level for their lesser rivals, but diminished glamour.
