With no on-court action to support the tennis world for the next months, tennis fans and personalities have relocated their effort and focus: Garbine Muguruza, Kristie Ahn, and Elina Svitolina are set on becoming Tik Tok sensations; Alexander Zverev and Marcelo Melo have taken over Instagram with their live video; Rafael Nadal, Fabio Fognini, Felix Auger-Aliassime and others use their social media to encourage their fans to follow the social distancing rules and be solidar; the tennis-addicted public is scouring the net for epic rewatches…
Ah, and tennis Twitter has been spun into a web of incredibly researched facts no one would have had time to research normally, memes by celebrities, and (so many!) throwback posts. Since scrolling down the app feels a bit like being rocked in a time machine, we’ve done some curating for you.
Here are funny tweets from tennis lovers who believe that, in challenging times, a smile is a powerful weapon to keep spirits up.

I’m doing something stupid today. Starting now, 5 PM CET, I’ll try to watch this in one sitting, so it will take me until about 4 AM.
Will I make it through? I’ll be posting some irregular updates here, the rules are just that I need to watch every point.https://t.co/RL918cWE0X — Damian Kust (@LWOSdamiankust) March 29, 2020

At home, yes.”
