Looks like anything that has large gathering is on hold(canceled for now) if the area has a coronavirus suspect in around it!

We will all miss everyone due to the cancellation.

 

[abmk]

Summary of my tournament experience:

As close as I got before I was quickly shoo'd away by roving security. There must have been 100 security guys on carts doing laps to keep looky-loo's out.

Watching Shapo and Rublev practice from the street

Ran into a couple twins at the hotel who looked like they might be ok at tennis

Someone told me the manlet is a youtube guy??

At least I got some clay court tennis in, a true rarity on the west coast
