This year's US Open will be missing both 2019 singles champions, because Bianca Andreescu announced today she was pulling out of the Grand Slam tournament, joining Rafael Nadal on the sideline.
Both cited the coronavirus pandemic in their explanations for withdrawing.
One big name who said he will be at the US Open and the hard-court tuneup tournament that will precede it is Novak Djokovic.
That means one member of the Big Three of men's tennis will be present; in addition to Nadal's absence, Roger Federer is out for the rest of the season after two operations on his right knee.
