Rafael Nadal has said he is very pessimistic about the possibility of tennis returning to normal any time soon because of the new coronavirus pandemic that shut down the sport last month. Professional tennis has been suspended until the end of July, at the earliest, and the Spaniard said on Sunday that serious problems stand in the way of a resumption.
“From my point of view, I’m very pessimistic that the circuit can resume normal activity,” the world No 2 said in an online chat organised by the Spanish Tennis Federation.
“In tennis, you need to travel every week, stay in hotels, go to different countries.”
