Vijay went on to talk about how he was concerned when he saw how the Adria Tour was being played. He said,

“The crowd usually makes a huge difference. Unfortunately you will lose that element of the match. It’ll be pretty straightforward to see a spectacular point and there’ll be no applause in the way. So that certainly will affect the players. But again, it’s something that we have to get used to, and it’s better than not having it at all.”
While the US Open has decided to play without fans, the other tournaments have not given their decision. Everyone will be hoping that they will allow fans but more importantly, they will be hoping that the players infected will recover soon.
