I'm vehemently opposed to holding the Open at all, have e-mailed the USTA letting them know this on more than one occasion and now this. A terrible idea.

No idea how the situation with the pandemic will look like in August but there would be one benefit of this idea: the players would get more time to get used to the surface and the venue before the slam.

 

[Ace2ndServe]

Sounds like a great idea to me. And the USO absolutely 100% should be played.

 

[SuperG]

Better get this rioting nonsense under control first.

There's only a worldwide pandemic going on and looting/riots in the surrounding areas of where the player hotels are, but sure, fabulous idea.

If they do this, I wonder if Rogie will win Cincinnati, USO, or both, or gasp, neither??

NID question

 

[theseth1119]

It's a big IF though for now... I have to have the utmost concern for how Rogie fares from here on out, he only has so much time left!!

 

[Cdm995]

I don’t have a problem with venues changing if necessary, but I think playing two tournaments in a row at the same venue sounds awful.

 

[TheLastJedi]

So rather than moving a mere hundred of players, they want to move thousands of more fans to New York? Not a good idea.

 

[hammett]

I agree it is not a good idea, a terrible one given the circumstances while I reckon it's great, I would like it to see this going through regardless. But then I aknowledge my inner selfish speaking conflicting with my rationality here . So logically the uso should go ahead but at the same time shame on them for bringing non sense. Summing up I applaud the enthusiasm and creativity, but damn you for playing with emotions. 🤪 🥺

 

[Servebots=GOAT]

They need to move from New York, not to it. New York is fucked as all can be right now.

 

[theseth1119]

Question, would moving the Cincinnati Open to NY help, hurt, or make zero difference for Rogie winning the title?? How good are his chances of winning the Cincinnati Open in NY compared to OH??

It will hurt Roger. He had more success in Ohio than in New York.
Maybe because he is conservative?

 

[theseth1119]

Not sure, but here's to Rogie winning something in 2020 for career singles title #104!!

It doesn't matter what happens in New York, all that matters is what happens in Ashe Stadium etc.
The players will never be harmed.

 

[theseth1119]

I can see Rogie doing some major damage at the 2020 USO!!

 

[zjtennis]

Just provide players with cash relief till next year when we'll just skip this 52 week period -- ATP probably had a lot of money in reserve if it means for the safety of the players.

Great idea OP. USTA is already shitting their pants because the big mighty Lupo thinks it is not right to play now

 

[SetPointDown]

Yeah sure let's move another tournament to the hub of the pandemic.
