No shower, no autographs

MANILA, Philippines — No shaking, no showering, no sharing, no signing.

Welcome to what the world of tennis could look like once government restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic have been lifted.

On Friday, the International Tennis Federation, issued a set of guidelines for local and national-level competitions.

The guidelines include arriving at a venue already dressed and leaving immediately after the conclusion of a match.

“Do not use the locker rooms or showers,” say the ITF.

Masks are to be worn while off-court for players and officials while hand shakes are also off limits. Players are also discouraged from signing autographs and taking selfies.
