Tennis fans have spent the best part of three months hoping that they’ll see players like Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal Roger Federer and current world number one Novak Djokovic back on the court during this enforced sporting hiatus.
First, the French Open was postponed, setting the Grand Slam game back by weeks. Then, a hammer blow, as Wimbledon was completely cancelled, with the 2021 Wimbledon Championships the next time a Grand slam will be won on grass.
During this period, however, while players were battling to virtual tournament wins (Andy Murray), raising money for COVID-19 victims (Djokovic and Nadal) or drinking red wine (Nick Kyrgios), everyone has been hoping that behind the scenes, tour operators have been working on ways to bring Grand Slam action to tennis fans around the world.
It seems like the powers that be have been busy.
