With quarantine restrictions loosening a bit, some players are finding their way out of their living room gyms and onto actual tennis courts. Today Tennis Now took a spin around social media to see who is knocking the rust off and preparing for the resumption of the tour. With no official date in sight, the workouts will certainly be reserved at first, but it’s a great sign nevertheless that players are returning to the court and getting in some much-needed practice time.
