Personally, I think TV response was completely over the top. The common sense thing to do would have been to take down the nets on the center courts only. You are rarely closer than 6-8 feet to your partner and, if you wear gloves on both hands, are not touching anything in common with anyone else except the ball with a gloved hand. You could also spray the balls with disinfectant between matches and have people waiting to play self distance or outside the gate. One world renowned doctor has said that No Virus can travel 6', much less 13 or 20 feet. Common sense - if you are sneezing or coughing or running a fever, STAY HOME! How easy is that. Open up the courts and let's play. This has gone on long enough.
