Report: Wimbledon To Be Cancelled, not Post-Poned

[Subway Tennis]

I just got a package from UK yesterday. I am scared. Should I quarantine it? It is a tennis shoes

What shoes did you get? Are these the ubersonic 3's? You need to clean the surface of the box thoroughly because the virus can survive on surfaces for limited periods of time.

I received some shoes from Adidas last week and the box had a noxious black dust / film on the box. Most likely dust from the warehouse but the box was still cleaned thoroughly as a precautionary measure because the warehouse obviously had filthy conditions.

Told ya! Grass can’t be maintained now and also can’t be played on late in season.

 

[Breakpointerer]

It was inevitable but still sucks to have it confirmed. Ah well, 2020 has truly been rotten so far.

Dude, why don't you play Virtua Tennis for the PS3 instead? It rocks!

Indeed a good game.

Yeah I've been playing a lot of video games recently lol.

Seeing Djokovic move to 6 Wimbledon titles would have been interesting going into 2021. He would have started putting pressure on Pete & Fed considering a victory this year would have made him 6-1 in finals.

So no 40-15 drama?
I wonder if the late tournaments will be played, like Basel. And if Rafa and Novak will show up? Could be the greatest Basel ever

Djokovic was lucky as hell to win the last 2 Wimbledons, even with his atrocious draws.

Remember when they said AO 2020 might be cancelled because of smoke?

 

[tennisaddict]

Let us pray and hope sense prevails and no need for entertainment and sports until a vaccine is found.

We don't want tennis stadiums to be breeding grounds for spreading the pandemic.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Virtua Tennis 2009 is in my disc tray right now. Love the VT series. I've got at least 3 of them in the series, 3, 2009 and 4.

Put episode 196 ''Lazarus'' into your tray now. No excuses.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Lazarus

I love me some Lois Lane

He was the one holding up the trophy in the end, which is all that matters.

 

[Druss]

Even though I knew this would happen. It really sucks that Federer won't be able to make it 21 this season. Oh well... much more at stake at the moment.

Not to worry mate.....21 will happen in 2021.

We need tennis to return ASAP.

This is already me in quarantine:

 

[BeatlesFan]

why couldn't they just play with no fans

1,000th time: Wimbledon announced on February 28, 2020: "Playing with no spectators is not an option with the members of the AELTC." Informed tennis fans know this, never mind it's been repeated here dozens of times.

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

But, Mr Trump says it will be all clear by Easter?

did mr donald specify the year?

Why not?

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

He's backtracked already April 30 now.

But I'm still holding out hope it ends with March like Sureshs said it would.

 

[stringertom]

That's because in China the police are killing the people who aren't self isolating nor staying in quarantine.
They don't kill people for leaving their home and spreading the virus over in USA, Canada, UK, etc.

And sending a bill to next of kin for the bullet used by the firing squad.

 

[vex]

Why not?

I mean, I can think of the two obvious reasons.

Sabooshs has two days left before he has to live down his worst prediction since “Cincinnati-The Real Slam”, know?

Just wait for April, we aren’t done yet lol.

 

[stringertom]

You’re being optimistic or non-specific...April ‘20 or ‘21???

 

[Backspin1183]

Djokovic was lucky as hell to win the last 2 Wimbledons, even with his atrocious draws.

Well, when he was on the ropes, Nadal failed to beat him in the crucial points in 2018, and a year later Federer would blow 2 match points on his own serve. Novak was just stronger mentally to come out victorious in both 2018 and 2019. So, that was less to do with luck and more to do with his mental strength.

 

[Belgrad13]

Of course a tennis break hurts Djokovic and Nadal. But it also gives hope for the resignation of Federer. I and many other fans long for the time after him.
Finally playing free without him. Regular tennis. That's small comfort.
A tennis break makes it clear: Federer can only save his records by a supposed virus.
Otherwise he has no chance at all. Zero. Every day without tennis means a day closer to his retirement.
That's small comfort. Good thing the Australian Open was held. Justice.

Which is the best of the tennis video games in terms of accuracy to the tours and current players?

Is there a clear frontrunner in that respect?

I know nothing about video games, but I remember playing one of the tennis games on a friend's PlayStation and the realism was extraordinary.

It had most of the current day players as selectable options, but there were events missing and he said it was because they weren't able to get licensing to add all the tournaments.

I haven't played the new generation tennis games (Xbox One, PS4) but the most realistic one before that was definitely Top Spin 4.

Virtua Tennis is more for arcade gamer enthusiasts. Which I'd definitely fall under.

Done with what?

 

[Bartelby]

Strange things like wars and pandemics happen. You take the good with the bad. And there is no event called GOAT and no prize money.

Whatever happens now is not going to change the fact that these three will be considered equals, if that's any consolation to you.

I knew it too that doesn't mean I accept it. But keep up with the attitude doesn't make you seem like an ******* at all

 

[MichaelNadal]

The 19 final really was an epic to end all epics

Yeah the 2019 USO final

 

[EdSWright]

Remember when they said AO 2020 might be cancelled because of smoke?

The two events are not comparable - you know that.

 

[Enceladus]

The world is coming to an end. Not since World War 2, which ended 75 years ago, has The Championships failed to take place.

And it will also be the first time in tennis history that is won't happen grandslam on the grass. During World War I and World War II, when Wimbledon was interrupted, at least the US Open took place, which was played on grass until 1974.

 

[I Am Finnish]

I don't think the French Open will take place either. Pandemics take several months before things get back to normal. The best we can hope for is to have some tennis by the end of September.

and play only for 1.5 months before the season ends?
Just call it a season and focus on next year

 

[Bender]

Yeah I've been playing a lot of video games recently lol.

I've been playing a bit more than usual, which is basically a stupid amount of video games. What do you play? I just max levelled my char on Borderlands 3 on Steam.

 

[I Am Finnish]

You believe him?
UK will not peak before may or june

 

[King No1e]

Yeah the 2019 USO final

 

[MichaelNadal]

44 minute highlights boo

 

[I Am Finnish]

Joe Ko Vich might go undefeated this season after all

 

[MeatTornado]

I also usually play a stupid amount of games and expected to go up even more but have oddly been playing less than normal through all this. Been using the time for TV instead.

Where was his mental strength at RG 2013 when he couldn't hit a smash in that semi or when he went flying into the net?

I play some Mario games, Wii tennis, stuff like that.

Ok atleast till Canada

And hopefully eating epic stuff
