I'm hoping if tennis stops for a while that they will roll over the points..or freeze them until next year. I hear Spain is a mess. The French Open is still a go but to have no warm up tourneys before it would be awful.

TC had a live show and Miami tourney is still a go but no one knows what will happen. Ranking points were discussed and the points have come off but they are still discussing what to do about it. Tracy Austin said it is unfair for Thiem, the defending champion, to lose all his points.

TC is covering the Arizona challenger next week with many top players asking for wildcards. Curious which top players are entered. TC was vague.

CNN is reporting there were cases since January that weren't allowed to be tested. That's why the numbers rose on the west coast because that's where the cases were in January.

Biden wins Mississippi

For some reason I am not seeing it. I had to click on the top right where the screen is white. Good thing the report feature popped up. Reported it.

There is speculation that IW might be held after the US Open in September.

That is what Indian Wells should've done. I just noticed the points came off and Thiem got hit the hardest but still remains #3.

Biden canceled his rally too.

Has the report feature been removed? I am being harassed by a member and have already reported it to Toups and nothing has been done.

Lame.....is that all they are doing? The Players Championship starts on Thursday and no talk about virus. They will play it as usual in Florida.

CNN talked about Indian Wells tournament being canceled . I don't know why they don't cancel the Miami tournament. Having tennis players wait 4 weeks when they could go home. Some like Fognini are stuck in Italy. And there has been some backtracking about points coming off....it's not certain what they will do.

They are finding out on Twitter that the tournament has been canceled.

People were saying to freeze them. It's unfair to drop them. So they don't play French Openn and Nadal loses 2000 points? The rankings are going to be totally messed up.

Where did you hear about the points coming off @DramatistDreamer?

What? Are they serious? That's so unfair especially if tournament is not made up.

Its the only sport to cancel a major event. Golf is still going on...so is baseball.....basketball.......why just tennis?

Brad Gilbert didn't sound too happy and other tennis media were in shock. TC just broke the news.

Some players are upset and a majority of tennis fans are upset too.

It's been canceled. Players are already there practicing and they just had a tournament there. I guess Miami will be canceled too.

I noticed not many people in the Mexico WTA tourney. It could be because Konta is playing .😂😂😂 it looks like it's been like that all week. And I just noticed Konta coach on camera picking his nose with his fingers...gross.
