Hi Steph
I hope you’re enjoying this crazy time.
What happens with Peter Polansky and Steven Diez, now they are out of ATP cup?
Is there anything else for them in Australia?
I read that Pospisil withdrew from the Great Ocean Road Open because of his back. Have you heard if it is his old injury, or a new one? Would hate to see a recurrence of his previous injury after he seemed to be doing so well after the surgery.
I’m not sure “injury” is the right word. Most people not taking chances this week. Especially those who were stuck inside throughout the whole quarantine.
