NEW YORK _ The United States Tennis Association is determined to go ahead with its plans for a doubleheader at the National Tennis Center beginning next month. This in the wake of the cancellation on Tuesday of the Citi Open in Washington, D.C., because of the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The ATP event, part of the US Open Series and scheduled to begin Aug. 14, was to be the resumption of the men's tour after the sport's five-month quarantine. A companion event for women had been planned.
Mark Ein, a venture capitalist and Washington Kastles owner whose company manages the Citi Open, cited the many uncertainties.
