Pressed for a week, French Open

The prestigious tennis tournament -- French Open -- has been postponed for seven days and will now begin on May 30th and ends on June 13th.

The delay has occurred because of the Coddy-19 pandemic, the Periscope broadcast.

France, which has the third wave of COVID-19, again entered the closure Saturday that could last more than a year. Shops and schools are closed.

Organisers have said they hope that new dates will allow spectators to participate safely. The closure is expected to be completed in mid-May, giving official shocks two weeks to prepare for the “Grand Slam” event.

“Every week is important and can make the change”, “French Open” said in communique.

Likewise, Federation of Tennis President Gilles Moretton also suggested that fans will be allowed to attend the event.

For fans, players and atmosphere. The presence of the audience is vital to our tournament”, he said.

After all, it also helped several top European players, including former world number 1, Rafael Nadal, overcome Open United States, which took place in early September.

Players had little time to recover from a Grand Slam event played in a hard garden and prepared for one in clay.

The movement awarded the award for Nadal, who won a record 13th French Open in one for men in October. Organisers limited the crowds to only 1,000 spectators each day.
