With more cases of coronavirus now being confirmed in the Coachella Valley and the United States preparing for responding to the epidemic, the decision to cancel the 2020 BNP Paribas Open that left many people puzzled on Sunday evening is now becoming more justifiable. Was it because of possible legal ramifications? And what is next for players, coaches and all the people gravitating around the tennis circus?
Chief Editor Ubaldo Scanagatta talks to Vanni Gibertini, who arrived in California on Sunday mere hours before the decision to cancel the tournament and is still there waiting to return home. What is going to happen with the Miami Open? Is the idea of postponing the Sunshine Double to the autumn really feasible?
These and other topics are covered in this conversation.
