On Twitter, Dabrowski posts a verbal scrape.

"We do not know which players come into contact with each other and those who do not follow the rules put everyone else in the tournament in a risky situation," she writes.

The US Open tennis is played August 31 - September 13 and without an audience in Flushing Meadows, New York. The organizer has got the authorities' mark by guaranteeing a battery of measures, such as virus tests, extended cleaning and extra changing rooms.

In addition, the starting field is limited. No qualms are played, the mix double is the stroke, only 32 against normally 64 double pairs are allowed to play.

“To me, a grand slam is not a grand slam without qualifying, a reduced double and no mix double. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth when so many players are against this tournament. Still, it should be implemented. Something doesn't feel good here, ”writes Dabrowski, winner of both the Australian Open and the French Championships in mixed doubles.

According to the Canadian, many tennis players also feel uncomfortable traveling to the United States because of the pandemic situation in the country. World madman Simona Halep has made it clear that she is unlikely to play this year's tournament.
