While the Low from Stanislas Wawrinka to play the US Open (August 31-September 13) joined those of Rafa Nadal, Nick Kyrgios or Ashleigh Barty, through Twitter the Draconian document that the USTA (United States Federation) will force tennis players to sign enter the New York 'bubble'.

In it, the USTA washes its hands. With the signature, the player exempts the organization from full responsibility for a possible contagion and even a hypothetical death.

“I voluntarily assume full responsibility for any risk, including death, that may happen to me or others who come in contact with me., as a result of my presence on the premises, whether due to the negligence of the NTC (National Tennis Center) or otherwise. “Under this paragraph, among others, the signature of conformity must be affixed.
