Wow this is crazy and insane. Couldn't they have played it without fans, still get some TV revenue

Yes, health first, of course.

I'm trying to Google the answer to this. What happens to those defending points? Will it just be an asterisk? I don't recall what happened with SARS and the sporting events that were cancelled.

Somewhere Roger is feeling strangely better about his 2020 schedule.

Well, there's more cases in Florida and they already cancelled the Ultra Music festival. Miami Open will likely be cancelled as well.

Which tournament is not going to be canceled between now and US Open? Unless things turn around quickly in Europe, the whole clay season is effed. No idea what happens with grass, and then Japan needs to get under control right away otherwise bye bye Olympics. This is going to be a year unlike any other.

Turns out Bibi may not be skipping out on that much tennis this season after all. Definitely will get all the time she needs to be fully 100%.

is there a current online multiplayer tennis video game? they could have all players login from the comfort of their self-quarantine homes and settle this the 21st century way, with furious button mashing. my guess is that our teenage Canadians will start a new era of grand slam dominance.

We all know a Mario Tennis tournament is the only fair way to decide things.

in order to teach this generation of tour players the value of humility and control over negative emotions, they should have the tournaments played using this version

I mean the best tennis ever was the tennis mini-game in GTAV. Complete with the ability to murder your opponent after the match.

I thought Intellivision Tennis was pretty good. You could direct your serve inside, outside or center. You could aim your strokes for winners by swinging early or late. You could serve and volley at the net. And the fans followed the ball back and forth.
