Saw the likelihood yesterday. Means Queens and Halle will possibly have weaker fields. I remember when Rafa kept pulling out of Queens after he had won Roland Garros.

Think it is for the best however the grass court season will be reduced by one week which is a pity as Wimbledon will not be delayed. Confirmation on the Wimbledon website, the Wimbledon champinships will commence as planned on 28 June. https://www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/news/articles/2021-04-07/grand_slam_board_supports_oneweek_postponement_of_ rolandgarros.html

once again RG ride roughshod over the rest of the tour, regardless of the effect it will have on the Grass Court tournaments.
But who wants to play tennis on grass anyways ??

Andy Murray and Roger Federer to start with!
