Nick Kyrgios said organizers of the U.S. Open are "selfish" for pushing forward with a plan to hold the tournament as scheduled beginning in late August.
The world No. 40 made the comment in a tweet on Monday night, before New York governor Andrew Cuomo announced that the tournament would go ahead as scheduled without spectators.
Kyrgios criticized the move to hold the tournament amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, which has infected more than 2 million Americans and killed more than 116,000, according to data from Johns Hopkins.
"People that live in the US of course are pushing the Open to go ahead," Kyrgios wrote on his Twitter account, adding a face-palm emoji.
