With no fans
in attendance, the once boisterous Roland Garros in Paris has been devoid of
excitement to an extent. Still, the players were giving their best, despite the

are continuing to do so. The sporting bodies have no date set for the return of
fans as the world continues to suffer against the coronavirus.
