on Wednesday, it was announced that the world’s most iconic tennis tournament Wimbledon is cancelled.
In spite of the corona-the crisis has the news left several of the world’s greatest tennis players in the choktilstand.
Among other things, react the swiss icon Roger Federer quite violently to the news. “Crushed,” he writes, for example, on Twitter.
The 38-year-old star has won the british tournament eight times, and the cancellation means that the elegant player may have played his last match on grass in London, which is probably an unbearable thought for Federer.
Serena Williams, who, like Roger Federer is the former verdensetter, is also hard hit by the sad news.
“I’m in shock,” she writes succinctly on Twitter.
Wimbledon is the world’s oldest tennis tournament. It was played for the first time in 1877 and has been held every year since, except during the First and the Second world War.
this year should have been the version number 134 of the tournament.
