Class Act
The pandemic forced Wimbledon to cancel its tournament for the first time since WWII. In an extraordinary move, the All England Club will pay some amount of money to all of the players who were eligible to compete in the 2020 tournament. Amounts vary for top seeded players to wheelchair participants.
Serena, Rafa and Roger don’t need the money. There are more than 10,000 other professional players who certainly can use the help.
In addition, the Club donated strawberries, towels and balls that would have been part of the tournament to a virus relief fund.
I hope some of those strawberries made it to the nurses and patients in the UK.
