Tennis: Zverev joins Djokovic in casting doubts over US Open plan

Alex Zverev hints he's unwilling to play in the US Open given the current coronavirus plans. Zverev: "Everybody always wants to play a grand slam, if it's possible. But with the circumstances now, with the things that are put out now; it's going to be very difficult because - you know, arriving in New York you have to stay two weeks in quarantine at JFK, you're not allowed to go basically anywhere. And then you obviously need to come in advance because after two weeks you're staying in quarantine you're not going to be able to play a tournament straight away. So, you'll need to have another two weeks of maybe training and at this time you're also not allowed to go anywhere except the stadium and the hotel. And then for Cincinnati and then another two weeks for the US Open; it's going to be the same thing. So, we're basically counting six or seven weeks of staying at JFK airport and the tennis stadium, which I don't know... Plus, you're going to play without spectators, plus you're going to play without the environment that you're used to. We won't be able to, I think, use locker rooms. No showers on site. No food on site? Yeah, basically nothing on site."
