After an outcry from players, the United States Tennis Association has restored the wheelchair tennis competition to the 2020 United States Open. In the initial plans for the tournament announced last week, the wheelchair events, mixed doubles and the junior and legends events had been eliminated. Part of the reasoning for the cuts was the need to limit how many people would be at the U.S.T.A. But many wheelchair players complained that they had not been consulted about the decision and disagreed with it. They argued that their slot in the second week of the tournament meant that the overall number of players on site already would be reduced.
