Berlin – The trip to the tennis tournament in Indian Wells was only a short pleasure for Julia Gorges in early March. She flew to California to be there for exactly one day and then fly back, said Gorges in a Sport1 interview.
“I had two training sessions there.” The tournament, which should have started on March 11, had been canceled due to the corona spread.
The 31-year-old from Bad Oldesloe is now further in Germany. “It is completely unusual for me to be at home longer at this time of the year and not in the USA and to have time for other things,” said Gorges. «For the past 13 years, I have practically only lived out of a suitcase. It will probably continue for months now. »
