The Olympics! Remember that?

Tokyo Olympics

Last year this week the North American HC season was getting into gear. WTA San Jose; ATP Atlanta, Kitzbuhel and a mixed event in Washington DC. But this year all that was shifted and moved around for the Tokyo Olympics. Goddamn this is really sad.

US HC? Not quite.

WTA Jurmala; ATP Gstaad, Los Cabos, Umag

So we have some clay and one HC tournaments. All are lowest tier: WTA International and ATP 250. Ladies don't have any options but Jurmala in Latvia, while the gents get three locations in Switzerland, Mexico and Croatia.

Post Grass Blues

ATP Hamburg, Bastad, Newport; WTA Bucharest, Lausanne

It's the weird clay mini season that pops-up after grass for some unknown reason. The men have an ATP 500 in Hamburg and two ATP 250 in Bastad and Newport. Newport is on grass, the other two on clay. The women are 100% clay and at WTA International level, in Bucharest and Lausanne.
