Zverev: Very Difficult To Play US Open
World No. 7 sees bleak scene for Flushing Meadows.
Alexander Zverev says playing the US Open may prove too complicated for players in this coronavirus era.
The USTA is expected to make an announcement on the status of the 2020 US Open on Monday.
More: Possible US Open Scenarios
US Open main-draw play is scheduled to start on August 31st.
The USTA has proposed playing the Flushing Meadows major in a safety bubble with no fans, players flying to New York on private charters and staying at hotels near JFK airport. No player entourages would be permitted.
World No. 7 Zverev suggests safety protocols would make playing the Flushing Meadows major "very difficult."
"Everyone wants to play a Grand Slam tournament, if possible," Zverev told the media at the Adria Tour in Belgrade. "But with the current circumstances, with the measures currently in force, it will be very difficult. Once you arrive in New York, you have to quarantine yourself for fourteen days, you can't go anywhere…
"And then, we will play without spectators. There will not be the usual atmosphere. I also don't think we will be able to use the locker rooms, we will not be able to shower on site. We don't know if there will be food.
"To sum up, there will be nothing there."

Judy Murray: Cancel Rest of 2020 Season
"We should just park it and start again at the beginning of next year," says former British Fed Cup captain.
Uncertainty over the coronavirus should compel tennis to cancel the rest of the 2020 season and restart in 2021 says Judy Murray.
The former British Fed Cup captain told BBC Sport unless a COVID-19 vaccine is developed, tennis should restart in 2021 to ensure safety and fairness for all players.
Jankovic: Fully Recovered, Unsure on Comeback
The mother and original coach of former singles world No. 1 Andy Murray and former doubles world No. 1 Jamie Murray says she doesn't believe all players will play tournaments this season anyway.
"We should just park it and start again at the beginning of next year, almost like a clean sheet," Judy Murray told BBC Sport. "That would be fairer to everybody. It feels to me that until there's a vaccine, I don't think you're going to get a full complement of players anywhere."
The ATP and WTA extended suspension of the pro circuit until at least the start of August. The USTA is expected to make an announcement on playing the US Open on Monday.
"It's so tough because everybody sees things in a completely different way," Judy Murray said. "I believe there were 400 players on a Zoom call discussing with the ATP, the men all discussing what they felt about going back and of course you'll get some who desperately want it and there's others who are more cautious and I wouldn't like to be the tournament director."

Alert Hotel Clerk Steals Armed Robber’s Handgun When He Isn’t Looking
This guy is a front runner for the title of “dumbest robber ever.” Desperate criminals do not tend to think things through.
