Rafael Nadal has accepted an invitation from the organisers of the Washington, D.C. tournament (August 2-8). The Spaniard has not played since his loss to Novak Djokovic in the French Open semi-finals.
World No 1 Novak Djokovic is "excited" that the US Open is to take place, as scheduled, but says he hopes the restrictions on travel, quarantine and entourages are eased before the tournament begins in late August.
