Ep 25 - What Can We Expect From Grand Slams In The 2020 Tennis Comeback?

With the US Open coming soon, or at least with the promise of it, we have to wonder as tennis fans who are the favourites to win. Several issues make this call more complicated then ever, because of the pandemic: will the lack of fans in the stands affect the players? Will it be negatively or positively? How important really is that courts aren't empty? What about the draws: is the playing field compromised? Are exhibition tournaments and matches making tennis players more tired or more match fit?Even still, it is hard to call someone else other than Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Serena Williams to win. Especially Nadal at Roland Garros.Speaking of Serena, the GOAT title might also be on the line, with interesting conditions to get there by tying Margaret Court's Grand Slam tally in some very similar conditions to when the Australian used to play, and win tennis majors.It will be an interesting tennis season to come back to when it's all over.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tennis-and-bagels/messageFavourite this podcast if you like our work :)SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel!Follow TENNIS AND BAGELS!Twitter/X: https://x.com/TennisAndBAGELSAndre:Twitter/X - https://x.com/RolembergAndreBlueSky Social: https://bsky.app/profile/andrerolemberg.bsky.socialVansh: https://x.com/vanshv2kOwen (BlueSky Social): https://bsky.app/profile/owensports.bsky.socialSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/tennis-and-bagels.
