Fantastic news as tennis is slowly but surely coming back. Even if the tours are officially halted until the 13th of July, some local/regional “unofficial competitions” are taking place. The Universal Tennis event in West Palm Beach is taking place with the presence of the likes of Reilly Opelka, Tommy Paul, Mionmir Kecmanovic, and Hubert Hurkacz.
In a few days’ time the Serena William’s coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, is about to commence at his Academy in the South of France. Lucas Pouille and Dustin Brown join Fabio Fognini, Benoit Paire, David Goffin and Alexei Popyrin in the competition to make things even more interesting.
The competition is due to commence on the 16th of May.
