US Open 'not impacted' by cancellation of Washington eventDaniil Medvedev reached the final in Washington last year and also finished runner-up at the 2019 US OpenWASHINGTON - US Open organisers said Tuesday the cancellation of next month's tournament in Washington DC "in no way impacts" the behind-closed-doors Grand Slam scheduled for the end of August. The Citi Open tournament was due to mark the resumption of the men's tennis season after the coronavirus lockdown but has been called off because of "continued uncertainties" amid the pandemic. "This decision in no way impacts the US Open or the Western & Southern Open," the United States Tennis Association (USTA) said in a statement. "It's disappointing that due to these unprecedented times, the Citi Open will not be able to go ahead this year," said ATP chairman Andrea Gaudenzi. We look forward to the Citi Open returning as one of our signature American events in 2021."
