Yes, Europe seems not having a good numbers are far as controlling the spread of the virus, so there could be third or fourth wave coming next year, so no assurance still that some small tournaments are going to be held. But for the Grand Slams, no question about it, organizers will likely push with it and will adjust to the conditions of the pandemic next year.

And so I'm expecting Federer to be back and try to bring tennis again, specially if we witnessed him winning major tournaments again, it could be the come back of the year 2021.

Yeah I'm really looking forward to seeing Federer back playing tennis again. Let's see how he goes as remember when he was out with an injury last time he came back and won the Australian Open and had a great year, I'm not saying that he will do this again as he is older now but I do think that if its his last year that he will be pushing himself to win another grand slam title. Wimbledon will most likely be his main target but I wouldn't count him out of the Australian Open as he also has a good record at the AO.

And if I'm not mistaken, he had showed or share some video of his doing some training, that is a complete teaser to his fans, LOL. Yes, when he made his back, he won the Australian Open and playing high level again.

So we can't discounted the fact that once he fully recovered, he will target both the Australian and the Wimbledon as he has a good record on that surface. So let's see how it will goes for him and tennis in general in 2021. And maybe he will think of retiring if he won at least a Grand Slam next year.

Also if Wimbledon won’t be arranged next season then fans may never get to see Fedder play for the last time at Wimbledon, and that’ll be heartbreaking news for all the tennis fans. Lastly I’m personally expecting, that Fedder will retire after playing in next year’s Wimbledon.

The organiser confirmed that Wimbledon 2021 will take a place, this is a good news.

If the rumours about Federer retirement become true there will be unforgettable moments for Him at wimbledon if can win the next GS title for total 21 GS in 2021.

Judging by this news, Wimbledon will be held for sure next year, so you don't need to worry, we will enjoy the new clashes between Djokovic, Nadal and Federer Grin

It seems that the only thing that has not been decided yet is how the tournament will be held, in what format, playing with full capacity, reduced capacity or behind closed doors.
The main reason why they are looking for a solution to hold a tournament and not thinking about a new postponement is of course in the money.
This year, the loss due to the cancellation was covered by their insurance policy, but next year it will not be possible.

Well this is good news as I really believe that Wimbledon is one grand slam tournament that must go ahead next year after not being played this year. Also the Australian Open will also go ahead for sure as now the case numbers here in Melbourne are almost at 0 cases daily just in time for the AO in 3 months time. It does look like it will be another strange year in 2021 unless the virus gets under control.

Looks like organisers are looking to preserved the Grand Slams only events for now and let go of some smaller tournaments. It's totally understandable though, they have to be selective of the tournaments and this is a good decision on their up, so we should expect Australian and then Wimbledon for next year, but small to mid-tier tournaments still getting cancelled or push through with very strict protocol and no big players entering.

@btc_angela in my personal opinion we should see more tournaments being organised next season, because most countries are now witnessing a drop in covid cases, so let’s hope that covid disappears for good in 2021. Also if Wimbledon won’t be arranged next season then fans may never get to see Fedder play for the last time at Wimbledon, and that’ll be heartbreaking news for all the tennis fans. Lastly I’m personally expecting, that Fedder will retire after playing in next year’s Wimbledon.

Well the grand slam tournaments will go ahead for sure as they are the major titles in tennis and I do think that we'll see almost all ATP Masters 1000 tournaments go ahead as well as these tournaments are the next big tournaments after the grand slams so I would think that they would want them to be played next season after hardly any were played this year. I still think that covid-19 will still be around because its still growing in countries like India, some countries in Europe and the US so it will be around for most of next year if not all next year.

The final is presently between Nadal versus Djokovic.
I figure Novak Djokovic will be in favor since Djokovic is superior to Rafael Nadal.
They win practically 97% of matches against Nadal. Djokovic has a 6-0 win over Nadal with a challenging record.
He plays with much certainty that no other player could have.

I just checked the tennis ATP tour website and see a lot of upcoming tournaments have been suspended. We already knew that the Masters tournaments in China were cancelled months ago but now we are seeing some European Masters tournaments suspended. I think the big tournament the Rolex Paris Masters might be in danger of being cancelled now that Paris will be going into lockdown again due to the virus getting out of control.

What do you all think? will it go ahead or not? right now its looking like it won't.

I hope not, this is the only big tournaments in the calendar and after a successful French Open I do hope that the tennis federation will go with the Rolex Paris masters with the same precautions they did with the recent French Open. Otherwise we will have to wait again to see big names playing high level tennis. And this could reset some of the players attitude and mentality, we need continuity.

I don't really understand how they will organize it because there is now a curfew in Paris at 9 p.m and events with more than 1000 spectators are forbidden.

Uh Ok, damn, it the city is on the curfew then it's questionable, and I don't think that the city is willing to give in just because they have a tennis tournament scheduled. And the options for them are getting smaller and probably the best is to suspend it, will be bad as I have said, but its the best for everyone.

This is why I mentioned the Paris Masters as I'm not really sure that it will go ahead now with the new curfew rule for Paris and we must also remember that when the French Open started the cases were not as bad as they are now in France. The only thing that might see this tournament go ahead is if they only have day games or move the tournament to another city. I'm now starting to get worried for next year as Europe is coming into winter now and the virus could really get out of control which could see the same as we did this year with many sports being cancelled. Lets just hope that with these new lockdowns that it puts a stop to the virus getting more out of control.

It will be unfortunate if Rolex Paris Masters will be cancelled as there are a lot of players in the top 10 who have showed interest already, like Djokovic, Nadal, and Thiem. So it is a strong field, so cancelling it will be a big blow again. So I guess the organisers will have to find a way, but we can't do anything if the whole country or Paris will be into lockdown. And as fans, it will be a big blow specially coming from a successful French Open despite the pandemic.

It's not the whole country, it's only the biggest cities...
But as Kemarit said it will be very difficult to organize the event because everybody has to be at home at 9 PM.
So they must schedule the matches in the morning if they don't want to get problems with the players, the staff and the public.

yeah, but i do not think that it is possible to start early enough to be sure that players will finish before 9pm, they can break the match at 8:30pm, if there is no sign that the match will be finished until 9pm, but from my point of view, most of these matches will be canceled, although indoor competition where players could have the distance during match are ok with covid rules, basketball season will be more influenced by Covid restrictions

2020 is going to be very bad year for specially sports as we lost some good number of events and still facing some serious problems due to this covid-19 which is not good but reality is on we cannot fight with nature we have to face this all until we have vaccine which is going to take some long time despite hard work from different countries and labs.

You can't compare organizing a big tournament Grand Slam tournaments are compare to lets say ATP Masters 500 or Masters 1000. And as @Saint-loup mentioned, there is a ongoing curfew, so it will make the schedule more difficult as it's hard to predict when the match are going to finished. What if the match finishes late beyond 9 pm?

So it will be hard for the organizers so I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to cancel the tournament not just because of the big risk of the pandemic, but the difficulty of the adjustments and players and expectators might find this uncomfortable as well.
