This year, in many specific respects, the US Open has not yet started, at least the main part of the tournament, and the first problems have already appeared in the form of participants with positive tests for the corona virus.
French tennis player Benoit Perr is infected with the corona virus, world media reports, and no further details are known at this time.
This is the first case discovered in a player, and so far only one positive test has been recorded, and it is in support personnel in the New York “bubble”.
The Frenchman was supposed to “open” the US Open on Tuesday against Kamil Majčřak of Poland, but as things stand now, he will most likely be replaced by Spanish Marcel Granollers.
By the way, the USA Tennis Association (USTA) took numerous measures to make the players as safe as possible, a model similar to that of the NBA was applied, but the virus still managed to “enter” among the players.
Let us remember, at the Cincinnati Masters, Beona Per, the 22nd tennis player in the world, handed the match to Borna Ćorić in the first round with the result 6: 0, 1: 0 for the Croatian player.
