Estaria bueno que @atptour comunique un poco mejor a los jugadores de una postponement de semejante torneo cuando estamos todos aca … enterarse por redes sociales o whats app es bastante flojo.

Doesn’t augurs well for the expedition if IW nullified for 1 justified instance in Coachella Valley. Broward county( Miami Open home) has more confirmed occasions. Monte Carlo territories northern Italy currently in lockdown. Rome Masters? French Open? Wimbledon ?!!!
