Follow Us
2020 has come up with yet another sad news for tennis fans. Just when things were looking good, it is now unlikely that the Rolex Paris Masters 2020 will take place. The event was supposed to take place from 31st October 2020 to 8th November 2020. Although the organizers ensured that not more than 1000 spectators would be allowed in the stadiums, it looks like even that will not be possible now.
That’s a really good question, Marin… As of now I have no idea… Sees to me it’s rough to do the event in these circumstances but who know… Hope we’ll know soon. I’ll tell as soon as I know but I also hope u guys will know before us…

There was suddenly a huge rise in the COVID-19 cases in France. Keeping in mind the security of all the citizens, the President of France announced a second nationwide lockdown for the entire nation. Though he didn’t talk about the future of sports events, the chances of Paris Masters look really bleak.
Feeling for the FFT people right now who have to try to figure out if they still have an event to set up in a few days. Not a single word about sports event in this Macron speech. Hope they, we, players will know the answer soon.

Apart from tennis, the decision will also impact other sports in France. The French Football league ‘Ligue 1’ has also not announced anything about the future of its matches-whether they will be played or suspended for the time. It’s really not good news but health is the ultimate wealth.
Fans were hoping to see World No.2 Rafael Nadal back on the court at the Paris Masters 2020. It’s definitely disappointing news for them but many of them still hope to watch the 20-time Grand Slam champion play as soon as possible.
