US OPEN 2020 Are you in? Pro Players List Rankings Discussion USTA Tennis Bubble

With only a week to go for the Grand Slam US OPEN Tennis Tournament, there is no turning back now Covid be damned.  I am sure the United States Tennis Association is doing everything they possibly can to make the Tennis Bubble the safest possible place for players, employees, and all those allowed in.  It's a daunting task that is costing the NBA over 2 million dollars and Covid-19 testing every day for every player.  We don't know the specifics of every regulation that the USTA will be implementing but we hope it will be enough. The US Open will look very different from the tournament started in 1881. It has changed from an exclusive men's singles and doubles tournament in Newport, R.I., to a 2-week sports and entertainment blockbuster held in Flushing, N.Y. It is by far the largest fundraiser for the United States Tennis Association.  Due to COVID-19, this year's US Open will be played without fans in the stands and on the grounds.

In this episode, Valerie and I break down the makeup of the current US OPEN roster with the caveat that it could change daily.  Here is a partial list of noteworthy players who are IN OR OUT.
