Martina Navratilova on 2020 US Open champions: “There won’t be an asterisk.”

Martina Navratilova thinks that titles of the 2020 US Open champions will not have less value, even though such a large number of players will be skipping the tournament because of the coronavirus pandemic.

There’s been a discussion in the tennis community that the 2020 US Open winners should have an asterisk placed next to their titles, but even though six of the Top 10 WTA players will not compete at Flushing Meadows, the tennis legend does not believe that this year’s titles should be underrated:
