Novak Djokovic did everything but commit to playing the U.S. Open during a Tennis Legends podcast that aired in Europe on Thursday.
"I'm extremely happy and excited to see that all the tournaments, especially Grand Slams, are organizing their events," the three-time Open champion said while also citing the French Open's intention to play two weeks after the Open concludes on Sept. 13 in Flushing Meadows.
"I think that a lot of people were skeptical, especially for the U.S. events considering what the U.S. went through as a country during this pandemic," Djokovic said. "So a lot of people, including myself, were quite skeptical on whether it would happen or not."
