With the continent of Europe easing down lockdowns in the respective countries, slowly and steadily lives are returning back to normal. Simultaneously, it turns out to be great news of European tennis professionals. As most of the nations have permitted the play of competitive tennis.
On Monday, Tennis Europe published a ‘State of Tennis’ report that illustrated the possibilities for play across 23 countries in the continent. Also, in the upcoming days, they’ll update the status of play in the remaining countries following the coronavirus pandemic.
In countries like Spain, Greece, Ireland, and Switzerland the play is possible. But the return date of the game is yet to be decided. However, in Russia, France, the United Kingdom, and in few other nations facilities of tennis are closed.

“Our focus is to restart our Junior Tour just as soon as it is safe to do. For this, we need three ‘green lights’ – the ITF and professional tennis tours to resume, courts to be open and competitions permitted in all member nations, and travel restrictions back to normal across Europe,” Tennis Europe CEO Thomas Hammerl stated.
It’s good news for the tennis professionals as they’ll get to hit some balls and spend time on the courts. Most of the professionals were in California, USA when the tour got suspended. And from there everyone flew back to their home countries.
Since then most of the players haven’t touched their racquets. However, they are trying to keep up with their fitness by working out.
