If we are talking about the Grand Slams then it is suffering through much lately. The French Open did postpone due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Also, the U.S. Open is considering switching the venue from New York if the crisis does not seem to be easing.

The ATP does not have any better plan to begin the tournament play before early in August. Meanwhile, the WTA tour is hoping to get the game back to the calendar in Palermo on the 20th of July. Almost everyone is currently praying for everything to be back to normal as soon as possible.
