 What's going on everybody? Welcome back to another video and we have some more breaking news. Samona Halep has officially pulled out of the US Open. She joins a long list of players on the WTA out of the top 10 pulling out. Of course the ATP have their players that have pulled out but the WTA, the top 10 are missing in action. There are so many players missing out. We'll go through that in a second but let's go through the statement that Samona went through that she pulled out with on social media. She said after weighing up all the factors involved and with the exceptional circumstances in which we are living I have decided not to travel to New York to play the US Open. So the world number two is out. Obviously we already have Ash Barty out so here is the list of top 10 players who are not playing at the US Open. Samona Halep of course, Ash Barty, Svetlana pulled out a couple weeks ago, Burtances also pulled out, Benchidge pulled out during the week and also on Drescu the defending champion she pulled out as well in the last couple of days. So huge names not playing. What does that mean for the US Open? That means that Pleszkiv is going to be the number one seed, Kennan will be the number two seed, Osaka is the number three seed and Serena Williams is going to be the number four seed. So I mean they're still big names. They're still big names but the biggest names the top two players in the world are not playing obviously the defending champions not playing, Svetlana, Benchidge they played really well at the US Open last year both not playing massive names out but it gives an opportunity for a lot of players. Obviously we know with the ATP there's a couple of big names out there but the majority of the top 10 are playing at the ATP. WTA only four of the top 10 women are playing so we'll have to wait and see how it plays out but Samona Halep officially out of the US Open.
