Charter flights to ferry US Open tennis players and limited entourages from Europe, South America and the Middle East to New York. Negative COVID-19 tests before traveling. Centralised housing. Daily temperature checks. No spectators. Fewer on-court officials. No locker-room access on practice days.
All are among the scenarios being considered for the 2020 US Open—if it is held at all amid the Coronavirus pandemic—and described to The Associated Press by a high-ranking official at the Grand Slam tournament.
