Cancellation of tennis tournaments and for the WTA cancellation of the Asian tour and the WTA end of year finals in Shenzhen(which was totally understandable due to COVID19)...................the worst things.
Now the Good things,
We all knew that the teenager Iga Swiatek was a player to watch,though we did not expect the impressive performance at Roland Garos this year claiming her maiden Grand Slam title in style without dropping a set to win the title,she blew the defending champion Simona Halep off the court on her way to the final,....her game translates to all surfaces,she was a former junior Wimbledon singles champion as well,I can't wait to see her in action in 2021.
Big shout out to the resurgence of a former No1 player Victoria Azarenka,who nearly retired earlier in 2020,she did not play the AO and her game was in the tennis doldrums just before the USO where she found her game again and made the final of the USO,although she lost in 3 sets,we saw some Vintage Vika......Welcome Back Vika!
Naomi Osaka winning her 3 Grand Slam title at the USO,well done,one of my favorite players to watch on the tour.
Even though she is not a favorite player of mine,I have to give Sofia Kenin a Shout Out winning her maiden GS title at the AO earlier this year and making the final of Roland Garos.....Well Done!
Even though there were no fans eg, USO this year,to me it did not make much of a difference as we saw many quality matches between the women players.
I look foward to the tennis season in 2021....hopefully we will not see the many cancelled tournaments as we did in 2020.
