This article is about a Grand Slam tennis tournament that took place in August and September 2020 (during the COVID-19 pandemic) in New York. I worked to improve this article both at the time it occurred (to get it approved at ITN) and over much of the month of March during its

Comment by nominator

The tables, paragraphs of prose, and image seen in the "Players" section here were removed with this edit by Fyunck(click). Regardless of my support of or disagreement with these edits, I am bringing them here to avoid any confusion as to why this part of the article, which was advised to be added in the GA review, has been removed.

• An image was inadvertently removed but has been re-added. The "Players" section has been re-added but trimmed for duplicate info in prose, and Covid-related material has been placed in the Covid section. The "Singles players" section is per consensus, and seed chart removal is per consensus. I hope that helps with the understanding. Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:16, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Drive by comments by Nick-D Just a few comments mainly on the COVID-19 section:

• The first sentence of this section is a bit over complex
• "described as a "bubble within a bubble" by players" - this is odd given that no 'bubble' is previously described as being part of the COVID safety protocol (the term usually refers to a group of individuals who don't mix with people outside the group)
• The para starting with 'In the event a player was deemed a close contact of someone who had tested positive' is problematic. The second sentence implies that a change in policy took place, but the source doesn't support this - it actually says that requiring a 14 day period of isolation was the standard protocol required by the health authorities, and is discussing how this was applied for some specific cases (with the players being named).
• "thus impacting their ability to continue competing in the tournament." - surely it ended their ability to participate?
• " Additionally, the men's singles third round match between Alexander Zverev and Adrian Mannarino was delayed for three hours due to a "collaborative dialogue with health officials"" - it is not clear what this means.
• The geographic region the statistics for viewership noted in the second para of the 'Broadcasting and viewership' are for section is unclear - is this just for the US? Nick-D (talk) 11:20, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinator note

More than two weeks in and this has yet to attract a general support. Unless there is clear evidence of a consensus to promote beginning to form over the next two or three days I am afraid that this nomination is liable to be archived. Gog the Mild (talk) 14:13, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
