With the tennis season shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, several tennis tournaments have been having virtual bracket events for fans to vote online via Twitter.
The organisers of the Mutua Madrid Open have announced the creation of the Mutua Madrid Open Virtual Pro, an innovative tournament that will be a virtual replica of the tennis competition, with the world’s biggest tennis stars squaring off from their own homes. The tennis players will clash in the Manolo Santana Stadium, recreated on the Tennis World Tour video game, where they will swap tennis rackets for a game controller.
