If a player is wondering what happens if you do something on your own at the US Open 2020: The organizers of the World Team Tennis Series in "The Greenbrier" in the US state of West Virginia have an example on Monday Danielle Collins statues. The American, who had beaten Julia Görges and Angelique Kerber on the way to the semi-finals of the 2019 Australian Open, was excluded from the team competition for violating the hygiene protocol.
Collins had left the resort where all matches take place. Contrary to regulations. "The protocols have been established and communicated several times to protect the health and safety of our players, coaches and staff," said Carlos Silva, CEO of World Team Tennis.
The matter is particularly piquant because Collins had taken a sharp look at Novak Djokovic a few weeks ago because he had criticized the planned security measures at the US Open. "It's a great way for players to make money again, and then the best player in the world comes and says it will be too difficult if they can bring only one person," Collins said on Instagram at the time.
