Rafael Nadal said the 2020 tennis season was “practically gone” because of the coronavirus pandemic

Nadal dedicated some of his free time to helping those in need and has worked with Spanish NBA star Pau Gasol and joined ‘Red Cross Responds,’ a project that aims to distribute food and care packages and provide support to more than 1.3 million people who are vulnerable across the country.

Spain has become one of the European countries most affected by the pandemic, recording more than 219,000 cases and 25,613 deaths.

“We are trying to bring together as many people as possible to create something beautiful,” Nadal said. “I am very grateful for everyone’s collaborative efforts: athletes, artists, companies, federations, citizens.

“I am a sentimental person, who is influenced by many things and sees so many people suffering so much, so many people who have lost family members without being able to say goodbye.

“In the end, being able to hug your brother or sister reduces your pain and imagines that they can’t even do that. You have to be positive and keep moving forward. There is no other choice.”

Tennis back … sort of

143 No. World Yannick Hanfmann defeated Dustin Brown, the name of the tournament star, in straight sets to claim the title in very unusual circumstances.

The exhibition was held without fans and there were only three people on the field at a time – two players and referees. The players enter and exit through different doors and sit facing each other so they never cross into the net.

The match is the best of three sets and the set is shortened to the first four matches, with a tiebreak in three-all and the next point wins when the match reaches deuce.

This tournament was organized to help low-ranking players earn income during the pandemic.
