Even though tennis is back, players are still adapting to the ways organizers have utilized to tackle the pandemic. As the tour resumes, players have to play without fans in the stands. This is troubling the high ranked players who are used to play in front of stadiums full of supporters.
I’m looking forward to competing again: Andy Murray
Andy Murray has been away from the tennis circuit (for a while) due to the hip surgery he underwent in early 2019, although, he is now all set to return. Murray last played the Battle of the Brits. Now, he is set to participate in the Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati and also at the US Open.
Andy told the ATP website. “I’m looking forward to be back competing. I’ve really enjoyed the last few days just practising with top players.”
It’s not the same without fans: Murray
Andy Murray is all set to compete. However, he just witnessed a new trend that is set to be obeyed by the organizers. The organizers wish to comply with the social distancing rules. Therefore, no spectators are allowed at either Cincinnati or the US Open.
“It’s just going to be different playing in front of no fans. I kind of felt that a little bit yesterday. It’s nice walking through to practice not getting stopped, but then the atmosphere is just not the same without the people.” Andy said.
The Scot will try to break back into the top 100 rankings by his performance at these tournaments.
