I like the timed matches. Ten minute quarters. Best 3 of 5 quarters wins.

Yes they did go at each other on Twitter,Becker I guess was trying to defend his fellow countryman Sasha? who was clearly in the wrong with his idea of 'self isolation'.....still no word from Sasha after that incident in the night club.....I wonder why?

Wow this pandemic has exposed how stupid most of these ATP players are. Nadal is more intelligent than all of them combined.

 

[Mile]

Who, Nadal ? It just a matter of days, maybe months when he will be COVID positive. Fed too. Autumn is coming soon. They should follow Djoker.

Nadal will be the last human to get Covid, he’s too smart, beautiful and talented.

Wait...Summer just started! Don't wish the fun season away. And you really shouldn't wish other people ill. #sourgrapes #somepeopletakeCOVIDseriously

Rafael Nadal and even Nick Kyrgios show the way for tennis during coronavirus pandemic as other stars ignore risks

The behavior of some of the sport's stars has been blamed on the baked-in selfishness of the elite tennis world.

It's a good question...how are they going to deal with the ranking points for the rest of the year?

Andy Murray says ATP should "think long and hard" about ranking points | Tennis.com

"There are big tournaments every single week and it's going to be very difficult for players that are winning consistently to commit to that many events. I just think we need to be a bit careful with the rankings," believes the three-time major champion.

I think the question of ranking points two years was raised before on TF if I am not mistaken,given the current circumstances I have to agree with Andy Murray.

I don't really know how that works, but they have to figure something out. Someone else here suggested it was time to go to UTR rankings.
