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.
OFFICIAL: Charleston and Bogota added to list of axed WTA Tour events due to COVID-19
Ivo Karlovic brings the humour.
CDC recommends Social distancing to prevent Coronavirus. I’ve been doing it since early 2000s
