The Spanish Rafael Nadal decided to get out of the United States Tennis Open due to the coronavirus pandemic, which keeps the international health situation in crisis. In this way, he will not defend the title won last year against Russian Daniil Medvedev in five sets.
"After thinking about it, I decided not to play the US Open this year. The situation is very complicated in the world, Covid-19 cases are increasing and everything indicates that we have no control over that," he wrote on his Twitter account.
After many thoughts I have decided not to play this year's US Open. The situation is very complicated worldwide, the COVID-19 cases are increasing, it looks like we still don't have control of it.
