Some other players were worried about what effect will the COVID-19 cases have on the ATP Tour. They even said that the ATP Tour might cancel the remaining events because of these cases. So far, the ATP has not indicated that in any way but they will be expected to increase the safety measures at the events.

Above all, everyone will be hoping that the players infected will recover soon. Despite his criticism, even Nick Kyrgios has said that he is hoping for the same. And hopefully, that is exactly what will happen so we can see them play on the ATP Tour when it returns in August.
