Serena Williams has confirmed that she will play in the US Open when the competition begins on August 31 2020. This will be the first Grand Slam tournament to take place this year since the Australian Open which was held back in January.

It has been a difficult year for tennis and not only because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Australian Open was held before countries around the world started going into lockdown, but Australia was feeling the effects of the bush fires that had plagued the country since the beginning of the year.

The French Open and Wimbledon did not go ahead, but the US Open will be played behind closed doors. The tournament received a boost when Williams confirmed that she would be competing. She announced her participation via video link, saying that was she excited to have the opportunity to play tennis again, even though she would miss playing in front of a crowd.

One of the main reasons why Williams may be so keen to participate in the tournament is because she is looking to equal or beat the record for most grand slam titles. The record has currently been held by Margaret Court since 1973 when she won the US Open title.

After a viral statement emerged from world number one Novak Djokovic who opposed the US Open Tennis 2020 health protocol during the COVID-19 pandemic, US woman Danielle Collins criticized him by stating that tennis players should be able to make money again.

The US Open Tennis 2020 tournament should have begun on 31 August and Djokovic expressed his protest because it was impossible to restrict players from bringing in just one support staff. This world number one men’s tennis player has just raised financial support to help low-ranking tennis players whose income has been greatly reduced by a lockdown in early March. Djokovic actively invited the world’s top 100 ranking players to raise funds for players ranked outside 250 and without sponsors some time ago.

Through Instagram, Danielle Collins said Djokovic’s statement contrasted sharply with his initiative to help tennis players with financial difficulties as the tournament was stopped due to lockdown. According to Collins, if a tennis player does not take part in the US Open Tennis 2020, then he/she will not be able to make money, of course this is clearly at odds with Djokovic’s initiative to help tennis players who are short of income. Djokovic should have known that all tennis players had lost their income starting last February. Collins also urged the male ATP Tour men’s board to support the organizing committee of the US Open Tennis 2020.

Contrary to Collins’ opinion, Nick Kurgios from Australia believes the US Open Tennis 2020 should be suspended. The decision to continue implementing the US Open Tennis 2020 is arguably very selfish. It’s clear the COVID-19 pandemic is dominating in the United States plus racial riots, everyone should try to overcome these challenges before rolling another tennis tournament.

Actually not only Djokovic who does not agree with the US Open Tennis 2020 protocol, world number two men’s tennis player from Spain, Rafael Nadal also expressed his concern. It was not the complicated US Open Tennis 2020 protocol that made him reluctant to appear at the tournament, but the uncontrolled COVID-19 pandemic situation in the United States that made him think twice before joining the US Open Tennis 2020.

He stressed if anyone asked him if he wanted to go to New York to play in the US Open Tennis 2020 at this time, then he will say NO. Nadal still doubts the situation of the United States in the next few months, which is clear he hopes the US Open Tennis 2020 tournament must take place in very safe conditions.

The COVID-19 outbreak that hit the whole world has changed all health regulations at sports championship institutions around the world, including the US Open Tennis 2020. And the statement of the world number 1 from Serbia, Novak Djokovic about health protocols and the prevention of COVID-19 outbreaks for the US championship Open Tennis 2020 soon spread to the internet world. Novac Djokovic considers this protocol to be too extreme and impossible to implement. Novac Djokovic at that time had a telephone conversation with world tennis leaders in connection with the continuation of the US Open Tennis 2020 at the end of August. This new regulatory information makes Djokovic uncomfortable and impossible to do.

The US Open Tennis 2020 committee will place championship participants in hotels around the airport. They did not even allow the championship participants to access downtown, and required participants to take several COVID-19 tests each week. Each participant may only bring one staff member to the club, which according to Djokovic is burdensome, because participants must choose between a coach, fitness instructor or a physiotherapist.

Of course Djokovic is still trying to understand the difficulties faced by the organizers of the US Open Tennis 2020. The pandemic, contract and financial problems all burden the organizing committee, consequently they must make every effort to carry out the US Open Tennis 2020 tournament safely, Aside from Djokovic, world number 2 Rafael Nadal also claimed he was reluctant to play at the US Open Tennis 2020 as long as the COVID-19 pandemic had not passed. Rafael Nadal considers the current situation is still too risky to hold major championships such as the US Open Tennis 2020. The Spaniard said the championship should be waiting for a situation that is really safe for health so that all players from wherever they come, can travel and participate in tournaments in safe condition. Nadal emphasized that he would not take part in the US Open Tennis 2020 which fell on August 31, 2020. As we know, because the COVID-19 pandemic there was a cessation of the entire schedule of sports tournaments including international tennis starting in mid-March. And according to the latest plan, the suspension will end in the coming July.

If world number 1 Novac Djokovic and world number 2 Rafael Nadal completely cancel their participation in the US Open Tennis 2020 tournament this August, it could be that this world tennis championship will not be as exciting as last year. The competition of these two great tennis players has always impressed the fans of world tennis. Fans are always waiting for the tense final between Djokovic and Nadal.

The team of officials has been conducting the preparation seriously so that all of the techies will be in the prime conditions. These will perform for catering to singles, doubles, and mixed doubles.

The USTA stated that it would be the first time that every match would have the technology mentioned above. There will be dozens of people who will operate the electronic review process from the central operative office. The US Open will expand the uses of the court by using the tennis replay.

It is indeed the high-tech replay that the viewers and spectators will see in the upcoming prestigious event in the tennis world. The viewing will be available in all matches. The new integration finally happens after twelve years after the starting of the use of Hawk-Eye instant replay system in the Grand Slam events.

It is an excellent news for all the diehard fans of the tennis sport. The officials of the US Open Tennis Championships have been making few changes for better purposes. One of the developments for this year’s tournament is the instant replay additions to all the courts for all matches. With this change, it will make the US Open Tennis Championships as the first of tennis’ four Grand Slams. That will also make the upcoming championship as the second tournament with multiple courts to offer it for every match.

The upcoming US Open will conduct the replay system in a remote broadcast control center. This centralization is similar to the system that we usually see in many team-sport leagues. The remote broadcast control center will have more dynamic spectacles for the viewers. The other 12 courts will feed into a remote trailer complex housing. For this new replay feature, the officials dispatch around five dozen of technicians and replay operators. The workspace is a non-public area. They will locate it from the two main stadiums in Flushing, N.Y.

Dave Brewer, the tournament director, confirmed the new advancement of the replay and stated that it was one more advancement or one more innovation. Folks reacted to this news positively. Not only for the viewers, but the new replay system also benefits the players.

The new replay system was proposed years ago. Why this year? Why now? You might ask the question. It has a thing to do with the renovation of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The restoration of the place took roughly five years and costed the officials around $600 million. The repair focuses on the new roof on the Arthur Ashe Stadium and new Louis Armstrong Stadium that opens this year. With the complete renovation, the technicians will wire all the side courts for the replay.

The officials have been doing some video simulations to test the new replay features. The on-site video simulation shows where the ball lands. This will air on the digital scoreboards that are located in each court of the event.

It is indeed an advancement for all the parties involved in the US Open Tennis 2018. The on-site video simulation will be a pivotal role in succeeding the new replay features. The US Tennis Association representative claimed that the new replay features would be prevalent for the future projects as well.

The USTA owns and operates the Open. They also plan to conduct the replay for all professional singles, doubles, as well as mixed doubles matches. So, all the players in different categories can take the benefits of the replay features.

Because of the cost and logistic factors, the development can happen, and ones need to have much time to actualize it.

Some players get the benefits of the challenges, and other players do not understand them. In the US Open, Courts 4, 5 and six are laid out in sequence.

It is true that the US Open was the first tournament that provided a replay for players. It all began in 2006. And then, many tournaments follow the trend. However, that does not limit to what kind of tournament that needs the replay. For instance, seven of Wimbledon’s 18 courts also use replay. Last year, the US Open had it on seven of its 16 courts.

You might be wondering about the cost of having the replay. At one court for three weeks, it costs around $80,000. Perhaps the only problem for some tournaments is the space that they don’t have for accommodating the equipment and personnel. However, this matter will be quickly solved by operating the replay remotely. With the current technology, it is far from impossible.

Sony’s Hawk-Eye system is the dominant provider of the upcoming US Open replay. For this year’s US Open, the company will dispatch around 50 employees on site to handle the replay.
