Roma MS organizers are very confident about Roma to be played.

They said Gaudenzi was very positive in all the meetings they had with ATP.

They think thay can play with crowd watching. Angelo Binaghi said he is very confident about an agreement with Italian Sport Minister about to receive fans in Foro Italico.

Le tournoi de Rome aura lieu en septembre selon le président de la Fédération italienne - Tennis - ATP

Gaudenzi doing a lot of good work behind the scenes, really hope we can salvage something of a season even if Wimbledon took the money and ran

So it would have to be the one week between the U.S. Open and Roland Garros. Seems like a mistake to schedule it there to me. No way the top guys show up. Obviously there's no guarantees that tennis is played this year and if there is, there might still be more scheduling changes anyways.

Dont see US happening now. You are living in a horror movie right now there. Players will not go there i dont think. For many diff reasons

If this is the scheduling that ends up sticking, 2 weeks USO, 1 week Rome, then 2 weeks FO, don't expect Rafa to play the 2020 USO!! He'll put everything he has into Rome and especially the 2020 FO!!

There are two weeks between the events, but still it will be tough for the guys going deep in the US Open, if it is held.

 

[theseth1119]

Is it official there's two in between though, will the FO start on September 20 or 27 for sure??

And all those protesters are spreading coronavirus. If they really cared about America they'd commit suicide after they've finished protesting, or else they'll be taking the virus back into their communities....

And Thiem's father said he's playing the US Open AND Roland Garros, so Thiem will be too tired to challenge Rafa in the Roland Garros Final

 

[theseth1119]

I wonder if Rogie will play the FO or not?? I say definitely yes to the USO!!

 

[NADALalot]

Djokovic said-
"The rules that they told us that we would have to respect to be there, to play at all, they are extreme.
"We would not have access to Manhattan, we would have to sleep in hotels at the airport, to be tested twice or three times per week.
"Also, we could bring one person to the club which is really impossible."
So I doubt he'll play the US Open.

Imagine no Rafa or Djokovic, but Rogie shows up??

That's true because of qualifying, I guess.

Indeed one week if we consider qualifying. Those who need to go through the qualifiers should be out before the second week of the US Open though.

 

[Xristos]

US Open ain't happening this year.

I trend to agree with you. I think the US Summer HC Series incl. US Open will be canned and we will start late August or early September with Clay Events in Rome but also possibly Madrid as well.

 

[TigerTim]

What a farce! Someone will vulture Rome. Fog to win a second masters.

 

[George Stobbart]

What a farce! Someone will vulture Rome. Fog to win a second masters.

Will he be fit and ready by then?

 

[sidechain]

Change US open to Indian Wells in NOVEMBER!

I think Thiem is the only guy with the fitness to go deep in both.
