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.
