US Open considers allowing limited number of fans

NEW YORK _ The United States Tennis Association said Friday it is considering holding the US Open in New York at the end of the summer in front of limited fans or possibly no fans.

Those are two options being weighed by the governing body of American tennis, according to Chris Widmaier, the USTA's head of communications.

"The USTA continues to model many different scenarios regarding the 2020 US Open," Widmaier told Newsday in an email Friday. "Our top goal is to conduct the US Open in New York in our scheduled dates. To that end, we are modeling many potential scenarios, which include both limited fans and potentially no fans on site for the event."
