It's enough to cover half the revenue loss, but what are their costs after cancellation? Could they actually come out ahead financially?

Nice find.

Wish they would have just had this event, but without fans.

Tennis is one of the few sports where fans don't impact the play.

Exactly. My guess is the TV revenue alone is not enough.

I'm sure this "payout" will end up as a "surcharge" on my GEICO bill at some point.

Glad I can help.

I disagree but it would be still good to have tournaments and make them free to watch. People are bored at home.
