Amelie Mauresmo, who is an icon of women’s tennis in France, had those words of truth for us today that we all know deep down but are finding difficult to confront.
The former world number one explained on Twitter how the 2020 tennis season might be done for good. Her reasons? The sheer effort and human resources that go into creating a successful event in the modern world.
As a tennis fan, you should definitely reflect on her tweet today. What did she say? Let’s find out.

What did the French tennis icon say?
Mauresmo reflected upon the constituents of a modern international community of tennis. She used this to explain how each and every little element is extremely crucial to make the clockwork run. This is how she ventilated her concerns (translated) –
“I think we’re going to have to draw a line under the 2020 tennis season. International circuit is equal to players of all nationalities plus management, spectators and people from the four corners of the world who bring these events to life. No vaccine is equal to no tennis.”
We can’t agree more with Mauresmo. The sport has achieved truly global proportions. At this moment, all corners of the world are afflicted by the deadly Coronavirus.
Until and unless a vaccine is developed, the erasure of the disease is impossible. The most progressive estimates for the development of the vaccine place its timeline at least one year.
Which means that resuming the sport under safe circumstances will be a really difficult job in 2020. Of course, all sports managements and governments of the world will not put the health and safety of their players at risk.
More than that, the entire process will face disturbances. From the arrangement of a live crowd to the production for television, everything requires a tremendous amount of human gathering. Time requires us to make social distancing the norm so resuming tennis will be a far fetched dream.
