COVID-19: Wimbledon Is Cancelled For The First Time Since World War II by Explorers(m): 8:58pm On Apr 01, 2020 |
Wimbledon has been cancelled for the first time since the Second World War, 1945, with All England Club chiefs making the tough decision at an emergency board meeting on Wednesday. The coronavirus pandemic has put paid to many sporting events, and The Championships are the next to fall, with the UK death toll currently standing at 2,352. It was considered impossible for the tournament to be moved back to later in the year, or to be played without fans, and so chiefs have pulled the plug entirely. Serena Williams tweeted she was 'shooked' after hearing the news on Wednesday afternoon. Roger Federer also tweeted his disappointment at Wimbledon being cancelled this summer. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-8175005/Coronavirus-UK-Wimbledon-tennis-CANCELLED-time-World-War-II.html

Wawuu! I the mean time, my African people have activated the solid immune booster against Covid-19. Ginger, garlic, lemon and dogonyaro leaves. Covid-19 you actually stepped Into a wrong Continent. By the time we're done with you, you'll regret ever coming to Africa. 3 Likes 1 Share

Painful, but the right decision. There is no point playing these games without spectators. The oooohs, ahhhhs and crowd reactions make the game worth it. I hope the US OPEN still hold though |

Wooow,,,last time world event was disrupted was WWII; the most devastating war ever in the history of mankind. The last pandemic the world experienced (HIV/AIDS) couldn't disrupt world events due to its mode of transmission. Why would Serena and Federer be shocked ![]() ![]() Where's the fun? ![]() ![]() |

What's up with African-Americans and their ratchet English? Even a whole Serena Williams. Anyway, the 'shook shooked' her into abandoning every pretensions of class and writing ghetto English. |
