Australian Paralympic tennis champion Dylan Alcott has slammed the omission of the wheelchair tournament from the US Open, calling it "disgusting discrimination".
Alcott, who won the 2015 and 2018 wheelchair singles titles at Flushing Meadows and is the reigning doubles champion, said players were not consulted and posed no greater health threat than able-bodied entrants.
With the coronavirus still rife in the United States, the Aug. 31-Sept 13 US Open is going ahead without fans or a qualifying tournament for able-bodied players.
"I thought I did enough to qualify - 2x champion, number 1 in the world," Alcott wrote on Twitter.
Just got announced that the US Open will go ahead WITHOUT wheelchair tennis.. Players weren't consulted. I thought I did enough to qualify - 2x champion, number 1 in the world. But unfortunately I missed the only thing that mattered, being able to walk. Disgusting discrimination
