38-year-old veteran American tennis player Serena Williams has been runner-up at Flushing Meadows over the past two years. The US Open season is the fourth and final Grand Slam. It was postponed due to the coronavirus epidemic. In such a situation, the US Open will be played from 31 August to 13 September. However, spectators will not be allowed to come to this tournament, because there are plans to hold the competition in the empty stadium.

Wimbledon Grand Slam Canceled:

Significantly, the Australian Open ended in February. After this, the French Open was postponed for a long time and then the Wimbledon Grand Slam was canceled in the meantime. This was a big shock for tennis players and fans of the sport, as Grand Slams have been canceled very few times. The US Open was also under threat due to Coronavirus, as the number of Coronavirus cases in the US was very high.
