Top level tennis makes ‘strange’ resumption at Palermo Ladies Open – Wide World of Sports
What strict rules prevent players from doing
Tour-level tennis resumed after a five-month enforced break on Monday, and players at the Palermo Ladies Open had to handle their own towels and not shake hands of opponents.
The strict rules because of the coronavirus included no showers on site, and no autographs or photos with fans. Players in the singles main draw come from 16 European countries and Argentina.
A limited number of fans were allowed into the 1,500-seat stadium court and had to follow social distancing measures.
