“Roland Garros does little to protect tennis players against the corona virus. There is no bubble at the grand slam tournament in Paris. ” That say top players Alexander Zverev (ATP 7) and Denis Shapovalov (ATP 11).

“It hardly differs from other years, except that there are fewer people. The hotel is not really a bubble. In the room next to me there are tourists who return every day with a souvenir from the Eiffel Tower,” says the German Zverev, the sixth seed , who recently lost the final to the US Open. “The tournament in New York really impressed me. Everything was arranged down to the last detail to entertain us in the bubble. It felt like a kind of camping trip with all the tennis players. Not comparable to what they do here in Paris and that. is actually not much. ”

Ninth-seeded Canadian Shapovalov, who was eliminated on Thursday in the second round of singles, joined Zverev. “You can leave your hotel, go into town. No problem, no one to stop you. There is no bubble here, New York has done much better.
