The US Open will offer athletes mental health support during this year's tournament, in addition to typical health services, US Open officials said in a statement Tuesday.
Mental health care providers will join sports medicine experts from the Mount Sinai Health System at this year's US Open in New York, scheduled to begin next week. Players will have access to counseling and "quiet rooms" throughout the tournament, US Open officials said. Stacey Allaster, chief executive of the US Tennis Association and US Open tournament director, said the "new reality" of the Covid-19 pandemic influenced the tournament's decision to offer mental health care to athletes.More Related News
