Uncertainties around the US Open will settle as the players have now been informed of the confirmed dates of the US Open [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/us-open-2020/]. The US Open will go ahead as scheduled. Beginning on the 31st of August for the Singles and 2nd of September for the doubles. Major doubts surfaced after the Citi Open in Washington was canceled. It was supposed to be the season reopener for the ATP but instead, it will be the Cincinnati Masters [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/western-and-southern-open-2019/]. The US Open is also being held at a time when the pandemic is prevalent in the US. There are thousands of new cases daily and so many players deemed it risky to travel to the US. So there were dark clouds over the Grand Slam. But it seems that the US Open is confident with its safety measures [http://www.essentiallysports.com/us-open-2020-rules-details-of-how-the-tournament-will-work-amid-coronavirus-threat-atp-tennis-news/] and it can assure players of their safety. There will be regular temperature and symptoms checks and players will be kept in a bubble. But this year there won’t be any fans at the flushing meadows to prevent the spread of the virus. US OPEN SINGLES MAIN DRAW BEGINS ON 31ST AUGUST AND THE DOUBLES MAIN DRAW BEGINS ON 2ND SEPTEMBER From earlier this month the CEO of USTA [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Tennis_Association], Mike Dowse has been quite confident [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tennis-is-the-perfect-covid-sport-usta-ceo-optimistic-about-2020-us-open-wta-atp-tennis-news/] of holding the tournament despite nearby hiccups. He is happy with the health protocols and said they worked closely with the authorities. “Those three principles are: can we pull it off in a healthy, safe way for everyone? Is it good for tennis?. And three does it financially make sense. And as of today all three of those are still true. We have the green light on all three. We’ve worked closely with the city of New York, the state of New York to make sure our health protocols are proper.” Mike dowse said US Open [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Us-Open-Serena.jpg] Completing One of the Greatest Comebacks in Tennis [http://www.essentiallysports.com/watch-pete-sampras-battles-through-the-worst-of-times-before-completing-one-of-the-greatest-comebacks-in-tennis-atp-jim-courier-1995-australian-open-news/] The French Open will follow the US Open in two weeks. French Open [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/french-open-2019/] has not raised any concerns and the organizers are trying to make it as normal as possible. There will be around 40-50 percent of spectators allowed. It is scheduled to start on September 27th. So this almost confirms the US Open. Fans can finally get the taste of Grand Slam tennis after tennis went into hiatus due to the pandemic in March.

The final Grand Slam of the year, United States Open Tennis Championships gets underway in the Big Apple, New York City. The US Open 2020 will be the 140th edition of the tournament.

<h2 class="p3">Is the 2020 US Open Cancelled?</h2>
The 2020 edition of the tournament will be held under the blanket of coronavirus pandemic. The event issued no statements about canceling it. USTA has been stern with their decision to go ahead with the tournament, also New York's mayor has announced US Open will take place.

The only major change this year will be, the event will take place behind closed doors, i.e., the audience will not be allowed in the sporting arena. Also, the players have to abide by strict rules and regulations laid down by the organizing committee.

<h2 class="p3">Will the US Open be held in 2020?</h2>
Yes, it will be held as per the schedule. However, there are chances that the event might be called off at the end moment if New York's mayor announces the situations are unplayable.

<h2 class="p3">US Open 2020 defending champions </h2>
In the men’s domain World Number two <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rafael-nadal/">Rafael Nadal</a> is the defending champion, but he might not present at the tournament since he has committed to play Madrid Open, which starts one day after the conclusion of the US Open.
On the women’s side, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/bianca-andreescu/">Bianca Andreescu</a> will be the defending champion in New York.

The Brit-American pair Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Jamie Murray held the US Open crown in 2019 in the mixed doubles category.

<h2 class="p3">Where would the 2020 US Open be held?</h2>
As usual, the tournament will be held at Flushing Meadows, also this year <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/western-and-southern-open-2019/">Cincinnati Open</a> will be held on the same site a week before the commencement of the US Open.

The tournament is set to get underway on August 31, 2020, and the matches will be concluded on September 11, 2020. The tennis matches will begin at 11 AM (Eastern Time). Since the US Open is well-equipped with floodlights, the night session matches are also carried out.
Usually, the US Open takes place during the last week of August and the first week of September. In 2020, the event was scheduled one week later than its regular schedule due to the previously scheduled Tokyo Olympics.

Also, right after its conclusion, the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/french-open-2019/">French Open</a> will start in two weeks' time in Paris. Consequently, the US Major will lose out on players as they considering playing in the French Major instead of the Open.
