There was sadness....

There was shock...

And many turned to an emoji to sum up their emotions.

Meanwhile, others were frustrated over what they deemed a lack of communication.

With the coronavirus crisis causing havoc on the sporting calendar across the world, more tournaments may also be postponed or cancelled.

What will players do with the extra free time?

Many are already in California for the event, but not the injured Roger Federer. May he be a trend-setter once more?
