This was the first competition on U.S. soil since the sport took a hiatus in March due to COVID-19. The competition will follow enhanced safety precautions, with screening, cleaning and social distancing for everyone involved. The matches are being held at a private court without spectators or public access. Players will provide their own drinks and towels, and each will be given his or her own set of marked balls for use during the match.
The series will continue on Saturday on Marquee Sports Network, starting at 11 a.m.
