WTA players react to cancellation of 2020 Wimbledon

The cancellation of 2020 Wimbledon and further extension of Tour suspension was big news for everybody. Not just ATP players reacted to the cancellation of Wimbledon, also their colleagues from WTA Tour were surprised by this decision. This included former champions such as Serena Williams, Simona Halep or Petra Kvitova.

Serena Williams was the champion at Wimbledon 7 times in singles and 7 times in doubles. She reacted just with a short message saying: "I'm shooked."

On the other hand, last year's champion, Simona Halep shared a bit longer message when she wrote: "So sad to hear Wimbledon won’t take place this year. Last year’s final will forever be one of the happiest days of my life! But we are going through something bigger than tennis and Wimbledon will be back! And it means I have even longer to look forward to defending my title."

Another former champion that reacted to the cancellation was Petra Kvitova. The Czech was the champion in the All England Club twice. She had won her first title in 2011 and added another one in 2014. "Definitely a tough one to take, with the announcement of the cancellation of Wimbledon this year. It's tournament that has been part of history for so long that it will leave big hole in the calendar."

Also, other players like Karolina Pliskova, Coco Gauff or Elina Svitolina reacted to the cancellation. While Pliskova nad Gauff shared just a short message, the Ukrainian did it in her own style again. While in quarantine, Elina started to be very active on TikTok and so she did it using this platform once again.
