Murray planning to compete for first time since November‘It would be silly to expect nobody would break the rules’As the debate over competing at the
US Open continues after the withdrawal of the world No 1 Ashleigh Barty, Andy Murray said the
BREAKING of Covid-19 rules is inevitable and punishments should be severe for players who pierce the Flushing Meadows bubble.
“I think the majority of players will [respect the bubble] but it would be silly to expect nobody would break the rules and the protocols,” he said. “In the
NBA, which I think will be a similarish setup for us, players have broken it so we should be preparing for that and that is where it is really important. I think the repercussions should be quite serious because you end up putting the whole tour and event at risk.”
