When the US Open recently announced that they had decided to remove the para-tennis from the program, the criticism became fierce.

These protests yielded results. On Wednesday evening, the organizers announced that they had made a new decision, and will now have para tennis on the program.

"The decision was made after a number of virtual meetings over the past week with a number of para-tennis players and the international tennis association," the US Open writes on its website.

They also wrote that paratennis players will undergo the same health and safety procedures as everyone else.
