After athletes like Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles spoke out about mental health, one of the largest tennis tournaments in the world is making changes.
"We look forward to seeing how the initiatives implemented at this year's tournament, and in the coming months, make an impact on player wellbeing, and will continue to look for ways to improve and adapt as we move forward," Allaster said.
The USTA did not say whether the program would be expanded to include the other Grand Slam tournaments, which include Wimbledon, the French Open, and the Australian Open. "The U.S. Open set the standard for staging the largest international sporting event during the pandemic in 2020," said Dr. Alexis Colvin, the U.S. Open's chief medical officer."We are proud to again be leading the way in 2021 by providing comprehensive medical care of all aspects of athlete health, including mental health."
