Dominic Thiem is “very sorry”.
Unfortunately we have to wrap up and leave without playing a tournament here in the states! I’m very sorry for all the fans and people who worked hard the entire year to make these tournaments special and unique. pic.twitter.com/qyfSjsdgdo

Coming soon to a laptop near you.
With everything getting cancelled wonder if top guys like @RafaelNadal @DjokerNole and top @WTA players will start live streaming some practices or practice matches to keep us in the loop of tennis 🎾 during this 6 weeks off @FellerBob @PatrickMcEnroe

This is a valid question from Mardy Fish.
ATP Tour suspending season for 6 weeks. Can’t think they will start back up in Madrid and Rome and then into Paris…??? Maybe hiatus through the clay season? Unprecedented times

Alex de Minaur is job hunting.
No one is quite sure what happens next.
