Indoor! (Almost)

 ATP St. Petersburg, Köln, Sardinia; WTA zilch

Last GS came and went, and this shit year is winding down. Definitely for the women: just two more tournaments (maybe) but not this week. The men will still get about ten tournaments, three of them this week.

St. Petersburg Open

Tsarskoe Selo, forget the autumn reds! Look at all the ducks!

ATP 500, on HC indoor. It was upgraded from a 250 and moved from its normal calendar slot just for the 2020 situation. 32 draw, no byes. Lotsa Russians, ain't that a shocker? Here are the seeds: Medvedev, The Shap, Rublev, The Khach, The Man, Raonic, Coric and Fritz. Who else? Well, Gasquet, Opelka, Lopez, Norrie, Humbert, Pospisil, Evans, Mannarino, Querrey.

And the unfortunate coda again:

• Live and up to date stats about coronavirus

• Another site with up to date stats

• Daily youtube update with the scientific side of the fight against covid-19 , explained in pretty intelligible terms. (That links to a playlist, just click on the freshest clip. Or you know... get really into it from the beginning.)
