Well with all this doom and gloom in the tennis world this might give you a laugh.
Our favourite tennis commentator wants to be Mayor of Perth
Politics saved tennis from John Alexander too. Who'd have thought politics would be good for anything but there you go.
I'm from Perth and its not a crap hole. No too Basil being Mayor of Perth. Just start both tours next year, start putting processes in place to cover covid etc. The other thing is will anyone be allow to travel internationally apart from the tennis players.

Schmieds won the Privatbanka Open 2020 in her home country earlier this month. She beat some good players as well, like Bencic
Covid is killing her comeback to the top 20

I'd be still amazed even with no fans that the US Open can go ahead...it will be months until it's remotely under control there and these players need to train, have physics, etc

At this stage, I dont see the point in running the US Open this year
I think they need to run it. Whoever plays, plays. Same with the French. COVID-19 is going to be around for a long time. Put things in place to keep the tournament as safe as you can, then play.

Expecting players to isolate in bubbles won't work long term

very. All china ATP events have been canned as well, but yeah, the WTA has a lot more invested in China.
In before Queensland gets to host the end of year champs. I mean, they are hosting everything else.

Hasn't really been enough tennis for a year end tournament anyway. Would be a hot mess with some of those ball bashers coming in off no preparation.

i actually don't think it looks too bad overall. short matches. If the ATP did theres now, you would have Cristian Garín(who?) in the finals
but yeah, in terms of sports reasons, there is no need for a 1/2 a year-end of season champs.

I must admit, I find it hard to follow these tournaments. The return of the tour will be interesting next week.
crazy to think we are just a month away from the US Open.

I just had a realisation that if the US open does go ahead, in what will be a significantly weakened field, it could present Serena her best chance at claiming another slam title.

Right on cue. .
Ashley Barty is not going to the us. Huge rumours about Halep and Nadal. That is a huge blow to the legitimacy of the slam imo. The world number 1 deciding to not play.
There is a lot of good us women players still but you would think this is her last chance. Age waits for no one.

Top 50 players not entered in WTA 'Cincy' (via TennisForum):
Barty, Halep, Svitolina, Andreescu, Osaka, Martic, Kerber, Wang, Pavlyuchenkova, Zheng, Stephens, Goerges, Ostapenko, Hercog.
That's 7 slam champions missing (one expects some of them still play USO though)..
That is a lot of talent not doing a lead up event. 1 has confirmed no US swing. Let's see who else
