Brunnthal (dpa) - The French Open winner in doubles, Kevin Krawietz, assumes that the tennis tour will not be resumed until next year due to the coronavirus crisis.

"I don't really think that there will be another event this year. The only chance would be the Davis Cup final in Madrid," said the 28-year-old to the German Press Agency. "I see a small chance that it will take place because it is late in November. Maybe you can put it in December." 18 nations take part in the final week of the competition, which premiered last year.

Davis Cup colleague Jan-Lennard Struff had already said that he no longer expected international professional tennis this year. So far all tournaments have been canceled until mid-July, an extension of the break is likely. The Coburger Krawietz, which is ranked 13th in the double world rankings, uses the forced break for a few weeks for a side job in a supermarket.
