Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic are ‘reaching out internally’ in a bid to support wheelchair tennis stars after it emerged the US Open had cancelled the wheelchair event.
That’s according to Dylan Alcott, the 10-time Grand Slam singles champion, who also spent 30 minutes on the phone with Britain’s Andy Murray discussing the issue.
US Open chiefs announced that the Grand Slam would take place in New York, starting on August 31, but while men’s and women’s singles and doubles would take place, mixed doubles, junior and wheelchair events were cancelled. (Metro)
