All players like Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic are waiting to know when the season which was suspended last March due to the emergency of the Coronavirus will resume. The USTA has not yet announced its final decision on the US Open, scheduled for August 30 in New York.
Roland Garros is the Grand Slam that has the most to be played, thanks also to the controversial decision of the organizers to move the tournament at the end of September.
Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are eager to replay.
Roland Garros tournament director Guy Forget says there is no reason not to expect Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer to continue dominating after confinement from the coronavirus.
“I’m pretty confident that some tournaments will take place before Roland Garros and I think it’s for the good of the game and the good of the players,” said Forget.
“When the Tour starts again, I think the more experienced players will always be on top. When you are a young player, you have to put in those four, five hours a day and get some of the rhythmic matches.
I think Roger Federer, Nadal or Djokovic even with a little less training can count on their experience and they can always be there on the big moments. I think they were so good last year and in the first part of the season.
Novak has been incredible. Roger is just playing – when he is in shape – I mean, his best tennis and Rafa, it seems like he’s a junior who walks all over the world like he’s so happy to be here, “he added.
Before the break, Djokovic, Nadal and Federer occupied three of the first four places in the world ranking, but the chasing pack of Dominic Thiem, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev was not far.
Roger Federer has not been seen on a tennis court since the exhibition match against Rafael Nadal in South Africa on February 7. A few days later, the Swiss star announced that he had undergone a right knee surgery to resolve a problem that had preoccupied him for a while.
Maestro Suisse is expected to be invited to join young stars Dominic Thiem, Alexander Zverev and Nick Kyrgios at an upcoming field tournament to be held in July.
