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.

Andrey Rublev - Fourth trophy of the year



bett1HULKS Indoors, Cologne


Koln Cathedral and a lot of other stuff!

Another HC indoor tournament, but this one is an ATP 250. It will be duplicated also next week. It has a one year license just for 2020.
28 draw, top 4 seeds having byes: Zverev, RBA, FAA, Paire. The other four seeds are Krajinovic, Hurkacz, Struff and Cilic. Who else is in there? Verdasco v Murray, Edmund, Johnson, Ruusuvuori, ADF, Albot, Altmaier, Simon.

OOP
Alexander Zverev


Forte Village Sardegna Open


Flag Street, Santa Margherita di Pula, Sardinia

Another new special 2020 ATP 250, this one on clay, outdoor. 28 draw, top 4 seeds with byes, and here they are: Fognini, Lajovic, Ruud, ARV. Next four gotta play from R1: Sonego, Andujar, Paul, Cuevas. Well, this is reaching down the rankings, so who else is notable? Moutet, The Tiaf, Checchinato, Nagal!

OOP
Laslo Djere



And the unfortunate coda again:
  • 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.)
