Due to the global outbreak of Covid-19, tennis tournaments were postponed. The World Professional Tennis Association (ATP) recently decided to cancel all professional tournaments around the globe within 6 weeks of the “pandemic” Covid-19.
6 weeks also means the end of the hard court season, last week Indian Wells could not take place and the upcoming ATP 1000 the second year of the Miami Masters, or Monte Carlo and smaller-scale tournaments in Houston, Marrakech, Barcelona … nor will it take place. If the situation is getting better, the male players can play again at the ATP 250 field in Munich and Estoril from the 27th of April.
Failure to compete for means that players will be deducted points, the achievements from last year will correspond to the points deducted. Last week, Indian Wells could not take place, so the No. 1 player in the world Novak Djokovic was deducted 45 points, Rafael Nadal lost 360 points, Dominic Thiem lost 910 points and Federer also deducted 600 points.
