Russia's Karen Khachanov reveals the ATP has explained to players that hosting events without fans isn't a viable option for tennis. The season has been suspended since March 12 and there won't be any events taking place until at least July 13.
Once tennis resumes, there is no guarantee that fans would be allowed to attend matches. The Wimbledon organizers ruled out hosting The Championships behind the closed doors a week before they announced the cancellation of the event.
