Ouch, sad news for tennis fans here, I'm excited to watch this tournament and make some beats, unfortunately, it looks like the corona virus pandemic has really affected us, even in sports. But we can't blame the organisers though, they just want to make sure that everyone are going to be safe. I'm expecting the remaining minor tournaments to be cancelled as well.

Yeah its not looking good for tennis with the corona virus, its okay if the smaller tournaments are cancelled however some players use these tournaments to help get them fit ready for the bigger tournaments and grand slams. Its going to affect all sports as we see many European football matches played with no fans in the stadium so maybe this could be an option for tennis tournaments.

Very shocking news for Tennis lovers all events are suspended for next 6 weeks after this we will have new update what will happen with this all https://www.atptour.com/en/news/atp-tour-2020-six-week-suspension-decision

I was about to post it, thanks anyways.

Yes, it looks like we won't see any matches for the coming weeks, I think we all know that is coming, even NBA has suspended it's season for now (one player is positive of the virus). It's really too bad that the COVID-19 is really taking a toll on every sporting events, but we cannot do anything about it for now but to hope that somewhat the contamination will put to a halt. And for everyone, just stay safe as well, no need to go out somewhere if it is not that important.

It's especially bad for the lower-ranked players money-wise. They are kind of self-employed and have some staff to pay. These players often live from paycheck to paycheck and with all tournaments cancelled, they won't earn any money for weeks/months. Their travel expenses will also be less, but some fixed costs remain. No problem for ~Top70 players, but everyone else will surely be worried.

Look like world is stuck with this CoronaVirus as many Schools Colleges Universities closed sporting events cancelled or suspended and we are losing in economy as well so this virus is really killing badly this is going to be more terribel in next few months if WHO fail to bring any thing to control this.

Sad day for tennis - Indian Wells is canceled because of Corona virus. Damn, was looking forward to watching some first class tennis but it seems we will have to wait some more. There are big chances that Miami will not fare any better Cry

I was talking to my brothers about the same yesterday . We were discussing the potential harm the stadiums can bring because of the virus . We might be sad for a week but believe me this is a good decision . Sports can be played even next year , its not worth the risk to play all tournaments which such a virus is out there.

does not have a sense to cancel Miami, since corona virus cannot stand on high temperatures, so it is not viable to live in Miami in this period of year, but nevertheless risk is too high for organizers to not cancel it

Kyrgios is a lost cause already, we thought that we will see a different Nick this year, but I doubt it.

Yes, I have no doubt that Nadal or Djokovic can either surpass the record of Federer in the next two years or so. Both are still playing high level tennis, and it is just a matter of time.

Would like to see more on Tsitsipas this year, maybe we can see him having a break out year and at least win one major.

I think Thiem is one step ahead compared to Tsitsipas when it comes to winning a major . He has more experience , have defeated the top 4 and is a real threat to Nadal style of playing . Although Tsitsipas has become an amazing player he still needs experience to win a major I guess which Thiem already has.

@absy - Yes, I double check, its March 9, thanks for the correction.

I do hope that we will see Thiem's time to shine this year to challenge either Djokovic and Nadal, we are not writing off Medvedev, but he needs to get this thing together if he wanted to break the top 3 and take advantage of Federer being absent because of injury.

Tsitsipas of course, he is playing very well at the start of the year, I look forward that he will have more tournament wins including Grand Slam this year.

Its okay buddy . You are right about Medvedev , couple of years ago I have seen him throwing rackets away and getting frustrated very easily but now he is playing with maturity and he is composed . I think he has the game to beat Federer easily now but against others like Nadal and Djoker maybe he has to try things differently. I would like to see him against Kyrgios though .

Those young generations really need to control their emotions. Yes, they could easily be frustrated in a game, but that will be start of their downfall. When is the last time we have seen the big 3 being frustrated resulting in a throw away match, because they can't control and angry at themselves for losing a point? They really need to see how the big 3 act, react and then the mentality to overcome everything to keep them on top.

Couldn't agree more . Look at Kyrgios , such a potential but unfortunately doesn't know how to behave . I won't be surprised if in coming years he is banned from tennis for doing something stupid .

@vella85 , yes it would be great to see someone else especially Thiem or Tsitsipas winning a major . Also I think Nadal will surpass Federer by next year..

Right, Nick K, is one classic example on how player, with so much potential, wasted his talent just because he acts stupid in and out of the court.

If Medvedev is slumping, we need to see Thiem and Tsitsipas stepping up and not let Djokovic and Nadal takes over the remaining schedule slams for this year.

I think a Medvedev and Kyrgios match would be great to see. Hopefully we see it happen some time this year and in a final of a grand slam whether its a quarter final or semi final as I think it would be an epic match between two up and comers.

I think the spotlight will be on Nadal in the coming months as he has a big chance to join Federer on 20 grand slam title wins. If Nadal doesn't win and Djokovic wins then it opens up the door for Djokovic to pass Nadal and equal Federer. I think its going to be an epic year for the top three players to see what happens with the grand slam standings. We know Federer is out for some time and hopes to get back for Wimbledon but by then we could see Nadal equal with Federer or Djokovic just 1 grand slam win behind Nadal. Then again we could see a young talent win the French Open which I think a lot of us here want to see.

Right now we have many good players with many personal and some different type issues which need to handle quickly because they are becoming more frustrated and giving reactions very wrongly which creating problems for them we have good talent but its need some good motivation as well for good and fair play.
