Nadal, players react to news of Indian Wells cancellation

Rafael Nadal is one of the many reactions to Sunday's news that Indian Wells has been cancelled. It's the first time since World War II that a tennis tournament of this size has been called off.

"The Riverside County Public Health Department has declared a public health emergency for the Coachella Valley after a confirmed case of coronavirus (COVID-19) locally," a statement on Sunday night read. "As a result, the 2020 BNP Paribas Open will not take place at this time due to concerns surrounding the coronavirus and the safety of the participants and attendees at the event."

While the ATP Council held a meeting...

Not all of the players were clued into what was happening.

"It would be nice if ATP Tour communicate a bit better to the players of a suspension to such a tournament when we are all here…finding out through social networks or WhatsApp is quite lazy," Diego Schwartzman's tweet reads.

The WTA has been more quiet, for now.

Though Steve Simon did release a statement.

Some are upset that they changed post-Davis Cup plans to make it to Indian Wells.

Tennys Sandgren was ready for anything.

Others are annoyed with the loss of points—which, at least, will be the same for everyone.

While the biggest concern is, of course, health, the loss of income is being felt.

And players don't quite know where to go next, with two weeks until Miami.

Denis Shapovalov may have said it best.

Tennis Channel's talent shared their thoughts, including Jon Wertheim:

Brett Haber:

And Paul Annacone:

As of now, the Miami Open has not made any comment about plans to postpone or cancel.
