\n BRISBANE, Australia \u2014 No. 1-ranked Ash Barty is skipping the first tennis major since January after deciding it\u2019s too risky to travel<\/a> for the U.S. Open during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old Australian is the highest-profile player so far to opt out of the Aug. 31-Sept. 13 Grand Slam tournament in New York because of the global health crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy team and I have decided that we won\u2019t be traveling to the \u2026 Western & Southern Open and the U.S. Open this year,\u201d Barty said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press on Thursday. \u201cI love both events so this was a difficult decision, but there are still significant risks involved due to COVID-19 and I don\u2019t feel comfortable putting my team and I in that position.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish the USTA all the best for the tournaments and I look forward to being back in the U.S. next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barty is yet to decide if she\u2019ll defend the French Open title she won last year for her breakthrough singles major. The clay-court Grand Slam event was postponed earlier in the year and rescheduled to start Sept. 27, after the U.S. Open.<\/p>\n

Barty reached the semifinals of the Australian Open in January, the only major tennis tournament completed this year.<\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s closed international borders would make it difficult for Barty to travel overseas during the pandemic. Technically, Barty would have to receive permission from the government to travel abroad, and flight options are limited. Upon returning to Australia, travelers face a mandatory two weeks in quarantine.<\/p>\n

Other players have expressed concern about traveling to the U.S., where more than 150,000 people have died from COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Barty had to make a decision because entries were open for the Western & Southern Open, which is scheduled for Aug. 20-28 and was moved from Cincinnati to the same hard courts at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center that are slated to host the U.S. Open.<\/p>\n

Serena Williams, Coco Gauff, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal were on Wednesday\u2019s initial Cincinnati entry lists \u2014 but Barty, two-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka and 2019 U.S. Open champion Bianca Andreescu were not. Williams had previously said she will play in the US Open.<\/p>\n

Being on Wednesday\u2019s lists doesn\u2019t necessarily mean a player will compete at the tournament.<\/p>\n

No sanctioned professional tennis events have been played since March because of the coronavirus. Both the women\u2019s and men\u2019s tours plan to return in August. The women\u2019s tour still aims to return next week at Palermo, Italy.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
