The USTA has some requirements and recommendations for both players and tournament directors/staff, listed below:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BdKygf5-G8lVJE-ulB3m_rDmhAfoTQ4W/view
David LeMair Tennis will do our best to: *Encourage social distancing. Players may check in via text from the car or a distanced area if they wish, 703-862-8702. *Encourage one spectator per
player if possible. We will do our best to remind spectators to stay
distanced.* *Encourage everyone to wear masks when social distancing is
not possible. Players will not be expected to wear masks while they are
playing but should wear them to the tournament desk and onto and off of
the court. *Do our best to keep everyone separate. For example, at the
desk we will use the ends of the table for checking in, going over the
match format, distributing tennis balls, and reporting scores after the
match ends. We will have spots marked on the ground for where people
should stand, just like seen in the grocery stores. *Distribute a
different number of balls to each player so each player has his own
three balls. *Designate one player only to flip the scorecards. *Mark/show
players where to be on court during the changeover (at least 10 feet
apart). *Keep the entry gates open as much as possible so players do not
touch gates to enter and exit.*Clean as often/as much as possible.
Scorecards will be cleaned, gate latches will be cleaned, etc. *Encourage
tournament staff and players to not attend if they are feeling ill or
have a fever. *Provide some hand sanitizer. USTA is also encouraging
players to bring their own as well as their own tissues to open gates,
etc and their own trash bags. If you have any questions about specific procedures, please contact Teresa at teresalemair@aol.com
