The US Open has had restrictions in place for players and their guests regarding the coronavirus. Not only are fans not present for matches, but players have a limited amount of support at their matches.
Cordae is a rapper. The 23-year-old met Osaka at a Clippers game in 2019 and did not know she was a tennis player. The two have been dating for about a year and a half.
