Australia, 28 May 2020 | tennis.com.au

There is excitement in the air across Australia with tennis facilities beginning to re-open and everyone allowed to play tennis again – with safety precautions of course!

It’s a difficult time for some of our top-ranked players though, who have been unable to compete in the French Open originally scheduled for this fortnight …

World No.1 Ash Barty, who was meant to be defending her title in Paris, found some clay courts a little closer to home instead:

Matt Ebden has Paris on his mind too:

As does Priscilla Hon, who scored her first Grand Slam win at Roland Garros last year:
