World No. 30 says two things out of tennis' control are key to resuming 2020 season.
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova says resuming the 2020 season depends on two issues out of tennis' control.
The 30th-ranked Russian says because tennis is an international sport, easing national travel bans and reducing the prospect of player quarantines upon entering foreign controls are essential if the sport is to resume in this current COVID-19 climate.

"For the moment, we don't know if there will be tennis in 2020, it's very uncertain," Pavlyuchenkova told L'Equipe. "We make a lot of phone calls to inquire about the evolution of the situation. It is very thorny and strange for everyone.
"First, we have to see if all travel bans are lifted. Everyone should be able to travel from any country. Then you don't have to be around fourteen when you get somewhere. These are the two main questions.
"The problem with tennis is that it is an international sport. Players come from all over the world. It's possible that it will replay. We are trying to resume the season in August, but there are things we do not control."
