Odds are that the event will be cancelled at this point in time. If it goes ahead it will likely be behind closed doors.

Don't panic yet. There is still a chance you may get in.

Anyone just listened to the interview with Dan on Radio 5 Live? Didn't know his mum (a nurse) had had coronavirus, glad she seems to be on the mend.

Had to laugh when I heard he's not the best cook!

He talked about how players have kept in touch via WhatsApp and how some (citing Liam Broady as an example) are more competitive about what they are able to do in training at the moment than they are on the court. Also about the shock to the system the hands have to endure when picking up a racquet for the first time in ages - blisters, cracked and splitting skin, how he would love tennis to have restarted by the end of the year, how weird yet somehow iconic a crowdless US Open final on Arthur Ashe stadium would be. And, in spite of his and Jamie Murray's differences, he hopes he can arrange a Brits only event some time in the not too distant future.
