2020 ATP General News

[Moxie]

I read somewhere where Rafa is unsure about tennis for 2020..Has he changed his stance?

I don't think that was a "stance." It was an observation. None of us has any idea what's going to happen for the rest of the tennis season. I'm just saying I hope he plays the Majors, if they come off. We're going to hear from the USO in a couple of days. I still say they should swap with the French, play the clay one first. Note that Novak's tournament is being played on clay. Does he know something?

Maybe because at this time usually it´s the clay season but I´ve heard the Nadal is training on HC

Thiem vs Grigor aka Baby Fed was a very enjoyable match

I saw that one...it WAS good! Dimitrov has a new serve that they think he's already quite comfortable with. Thiem is the only guy still undefeated in the tourney.

Wow I saw footage of the Djokovic exhibition on TV and how irresponsible oh my God. Here’s an article:

I have not seen how will ATP solve points/ranking. Anybody saw some news about it ?

I once saw Deliciano v. Pablo Andujar at the USO. That was some good looking tennis.

It has been said that there will be rankings points, but it hasn't quite been resolved how they'll make it fair. I'm not sure they know yet. Of the calendar that has been announced, Nadal has the most points to defend.

Grigor Dimitrov,who played the Adria Tour last week,has just announced on Twitter,that he has tested positive for COVID-19 in Monaco,and he was just with a whole bunch of other high profile players.

I just heard that, too. He's sick in bed with fever.

I hope all the players on that Arida Tour get tested ASAP and also the other people that Grigor that came in contact with as well.This pandemic is far from over.In Melbourne they had to reverse some of the restrictions yesterday due to cluster's of COVID-19 in their suburbs,due to people not adhering to the restrictions that were in place,the premier said if any more cases he would lock down the state.

I think that's what they're doing right now. They were about to start the final betw. Djoker and Rublev and they cancelled it. All done.

 

[kskate2]

They have to cancel it and try to minimize exposure. I was surprised they weren't practicing SD in the stands. Now Grigor has to backtrack his steps to determine exposure and how he caught it.

Goran Ivanisevic just announced on court they have cancelled the final of the Adria Tour in Zadar,involving Djokovic,because Dimitrov tested positive for COVID-19

Well when you do not have 'social distancing' in place like the Adria Tour with packed stadiums of people,if will not surprise me if other people test positive for COVID-19

Very irresponsible by Novak and the rest of the tournament officials

Even if your numbers are low to this virus like many places in the Balkans,it does not mean you cannot get this virus,social distancing is of 'prime importance',you cannot afford to have 'packed stadiums' at present, also there was a lot of hand shaking and embracing from players.I read the other day the French Open plans to have fans in their stands,I hope they reconsider this proposal and look at the guidelines of the USO have in place.

Last week all the players of the Adria Tour had a party in Belgrado, then........
