Tennis also stops because of the coronavirus. The ATP Governing Council, chaired by Andrea Gaudenzi, has in fact accepted the petition signed by a group of players, including Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, in which, after long meetings in Indian Wells in which representatives also participated WTA, and therefore also of the players, asked for the stop of the activity, which will not resume before the end of April, or for about six weeks. The Masters 1,000 tournaments in Miami, Monte Carlo, Marrakech, Houston, the Barcelona Open and Budapest are therefore missing. Pending Monaco and Estoril, doubts also about Madrid and Rome.
