Rafael Nadal would 'not travel to New York today' to play US Open - The Guardian

Rafael Nadal has said tennis should not resume until players are able to travel safely in order to compete around the world.

“If you asked me today if I want to travel to New York to play, I will say: ‘No, I will not.’ In a couple of months I don’t know how the situation will improve,” he said.

The world No 2 said: “We need to be responsible, we need to be sending strong messages and we need to be a positive example for society.

We need to understand we are suffering an unprecedented situation and my feeling is that we need to come back when all the players from all the countries of the world are able to travel under safe circumstances.

The situation is critical but I really believe strongly in people and I really believe we will be able to fix the problems
