Gosh i was waiting for this one......BUT dans les circonstances pas vraiment le choix.....l'un des plus prestigieux tournois de l"année.

Life goes on....après leur brillante victoire du weekend.....KENIN is #4 and SVITOLINA #5.........et après de beaux succès ces 2 dernières semaines FERNANDEZ fait un bond au 118ème rang. ..congrats girls.

ROLAND-GARROS déplacé en Septembre.....MAIS j'ai de sérieux doutes qu'il puisse se tenir :decision:

Au tour de WIMBLEDON d'annuler son tournoi en Juin.

 

[EagerBeaver]

Cancelled for first time since World War II.

Au tour de WIMBLEDON d'annuler son tournoi en Juin.

Is it cancelled or postponed?

If it's postponed there's a chance we could have a tournament at the end of next summer. But chances are slim since i can't see crowds of people attending the tournament. You could have the tournament being played without crowds but what would be the use? Might as well wait another year.

It's cancelled. Wimbledon is not being played this year:

Rolland Garros most probably will be the next tournament to be officially canceled

Too bad for Novak as he was on a tear , he was back rejuvenated and in spectacular form and looked like he was gonna do some serious catching up with Fed and Nadal , but now this changes everything

I’m not a hundred percent sure but I think this somehow gives a better chance/hope for Fed finishing with the most . Father Time is Father Time and when they eventually resume they might not be at their best form and the younger players will be knocking on the door

When tge big three retire they should put an asterisk next to the GS record because of C19

Very happy to see WTA back on tour in PRAGUE and LEXINGTON.....en préparation du US OPEN...good good news...

 

[gaby]

LEXINGTON----Finalement--après 5 mois--was nice to see playing again SERENA---VENUS---GAUFF and cute-little Canadian LEYLA FERNANDEZ------they all won their first round . SERENA will play VENUS in the second.

 

[gaby]

SERENA--VENUS....wow....what a game .....spectacular and exciting...after a slow start both put on a very good spectacle with intense tennis....champ vs champ.....SERENA won in 3 sets....she will play Rogers.....should win this tournament.
Sorry for Leyla ..she lost in 2 sets.....too bad...she was leading the second set 5-2 BUT lost 7-5.....à 17 ans à peine elle devrait continuer de s'améliorer.

 

[gaby]

SURPRISE AT LEXINGTON.....SERENA IS OUT......BUT GOOD NEWS COCO GAUFF IN SEMIFINALS....WHAT A GREAT THIRD SET SHE PLAYED YESTERDAY VS JABEUR .....she will play BRADY today....go COCO.

 

[gaby]

Bravo to HALEP ..she won PRAGUE OPEN and same to JENNIFER BRADY for winning LEXINGTON.......but dommage HAPEP will not paly at the US OPEN ....that means 6 of the 10 top players will not b in NY....including ANDREESCU.....vraiment dommage mais elles ne veulent prendre aucun risque...et on peut les comprendre.

 

[gaby]

WESTERN-SOUTHERN OPEN.....First round......good start for Félix--Shapo and Milos.....they all won in 2 sets.........Venus and Coco are out......good tennis to come......Frenandez is on today.

 

[gaby]

MILOS will play in quarters today vs MURRAY....interesting.....youngster DENNIS and FELIX are out.....DJOKO and TSITSIPAS are also on today.........same for OSAKA----she looks great- and SERENA who will play tonight.

 

[gaby]

MILOS TSITSI--DJOKO and MEDVEDEV.....still there......oups SERENA out....OSAKA should do it all the way.....ma seule crainte est la coriace JABEUR.

 

[gaby]

Well no tennis today --pause after Osaka's withdrawal in call for racial justice ......and MILOS moves into semis vs Tsitsi............will they play tomorrow????
