G.O.A.T.
FYI it lasted from the 16th until the 20th .... now by governor mandate closed down.
City/County parks are not currently padlocked so that is where the players will be found.
I have decided that this is the perfect time for me to change to playing singles only. Lots of distancing to be had.
I have wanted to become a better singles player but never had the time to dedicate to it. Well, now is the time.
(I will serve with my balls, opponent with his/her balls .... no touching someone else's ball with anything other than racquet)
As long as park courts remain open I will have a match a day ... already have next 5 days lined up.
I remain unconvinced that tennis courts are clean places to be. We have no idea how long the virus lasts on a tennis court, how much gets picked up by balls on the bounce, how much gets transferred to racquets, etc.
I guess those that choose to play on public courts through this will be the test cases for fomite transmission on tennis courts. Scientifically I'd be interested to know how many of the people that choose to keep playing get sick. Keep us updated with your health.
For now I think I'll mostly stick to walks and bike rides.
