Grand Slam French Open 2020

The virus is going to be around next year as well, Kyrgios and Barty going to skip next season as well?

There may well be something available by mid year next season. Barty literally hasn't been able to train how do you realistically expect her to be there? Kyrigios is a mug anyway, he's happy with his newest flame.

Could be around for a decade for all we know, they just going to call it a day ?

Have no issue with them not playing this year

Having fans would put me off going, do think the bubble went as well as they could of in New York

the French tennis association must be desperate for money.

Nick is happy talking on twitter and criticising his opponents

Well that too lol

He’s short odds to having a tv show like Mark Phillipousis did lol (Age of Love)

Osaka has withdrawn from the French open due to hamstring injury

Halep is a master on clay and is my tip, but my smokie is Elise Mertens. Despite not winning titles she's been strong and consistently good at the AO, Prague, Cincinatti, US Open. Record on clay checks out as good enough.

Mertens a huge chance

 

[BobbyMorri]

capacity has been slashed, as covid cases have risen. only 5K now allowed inside, all on the main court. was going to be 15K

Hope the FFT has the bubble sorted.

halep for me. bertens is a real chance but would like to see her form.

Kenin got tharshed 6-0 6-0 by Azarenka this morning lol

How did this girl win a slam lol

She's a very good young player, not all of them have handled this season well but you could say that about a lot of the top 15 players. Id be just letting the dust settle on these players, a lot of them have had different routines and schedules than what theyd have planned for.

Bertens form has been average lately

 

[BobbyMorri]

Bertens form has been average lately

i thought she won her first game in Rome. *slaps head*

She has no right losing to Hercog. hopefully she is playing next week and gets a win on the board.

Was injured, took a MTO early in that match

Azarenka was on fire though. The scoreline seems horrible but it's not like 0-40 all the time. Some games Kenin was leading 40-15 but then unable to close the game.

This tournament is on risky ground I'd say. Two players in qualifying have tested positive overnight and 3 other players who are close contacts have also been removed from the tournament. 23,000 new coronavirus cases in France over the weekend as well.

This has a lot more risk compared to the usopen which had a successful bubble with no crowds.

 

[JackNah_8]

I'm surprised the officials are going to allow fans attend

I am shocked they finished the Tour de France. those crowds were scary. Macron doesn't want to shut-down again is perhaps the saving grace.

but I also feel that the FFT is sleepwalking into disaster.

 

[JackNah_8]

There was no social distancing during the tour de france.

It was weird seeing a few people yesterday in Rome

Another player out of French Open qualifying due to COVID-19, Djokovic wins in Rome

Another player has been withdrawn from French Open qualifying after testing positive to COVID-19, bringing the total of withdrawn players across the men's and women's draws to six.

So, if Halep wins the French open, she becomes the new number 1 in the world.

Kinda of dislike the current ranking system, where nothing gets taken off. I know why they had to do it, but it just doesn't seem right.
