So I’m guessing the final round won’t be on Eurosport this weekend?  
 

Bad news all round though, looks like it’s just Marbles as the only European event with a live audience for the rest of the Summer.

 

Incidentally, Amazon Prime has this week’s British tournament from Roehampton, starting today.

Oh and Dimitrov was feeling bad, played against Coric, sort of collapsed during the match because of feeling bad....then hugged Coric, went back home, and only then got a test...and obviously tested positive. Why are people dumb?

@Monzanator you should be happy with this comment ?

@thepharoah Camila Giorgi still wears the shortest skirts on WTA tour - designed by her mother no less

 

Cibulkova was wearing one-piece skirts for most of her career. She was very athletic and generated a lot of power for someone so tiny by modern WTA standards (162 cm IIRC).

To be fair... Would you immediately assume you have coronavirus if you suddenly felt unwell during one of your runs?
