"All the players were surprised" - Cuevas on Roland Garros postponement

The postponement of the 2020 Roland Garros and the cancellation of Wimbledon was a big surprise for every player. Many ATP and WTA players reacted on the social media as they were surprised by the news. Now, Pablo Cuevas spoke about how he sees the current situation.

"I think the Roland Garros decision was a bit rushed, perhaps without asking the ATP from what I know. Also, it seems they didn't take into account the rest of the tournaments, the rest of the calendar, it was something weird. In this moment of solidarity, where we must have sympathy, it was something pretty selfish to go forward and set the dates without having any concern for the players and the rest of the calendar. All the players were a bit surprised," Cuevas said.

"About the cancellation of Wimbledon, I think it was something pretty obvious. This coronavirus is being more serious that what it seemed at the beginning; it's taking a lot to control it, so I think it was the right decision made by the people at Wimbledon. We don't know yet when we'll be able to compete again. It's one of the earliest sports to cancel everything and I think it will be one of the latest to get back because of all the nationalities involved. Every country must free every airport and flight, so they have to control the pandemic, so that will make us get back after other sports. I don't know when we'll be able to start," said Cuevas.
