After the successful completion of the grass-court season, it is time for the Tokyo Olympics 2020.

The players have also started reaching Tokyo and will soon begin their training for the biggest sporting event.

World No. 50 Ellen Perez also took a jibe at the organizers and tweeted, “Taking the mattress off the bed and placing it on the floor seems far too easy to fix this problem. Tokyo 2020 did you make the floors anti-sex too? Asking for a friend.”
