And for good reason: It’s hard for many of us to picture our spectating life without the Grand Slams. But those stories also obscure the loss of many smaller, unique, charming single-week events, ones that help knit together the varied, international fabric of the tours. One of those uniquely charming events is the Volvo Car Open, which would have been underway in Charleston, S.C., as we speak.

Technically, we’re two weeks into spring, but what we mostly see here are bare branches, reaching up for the sky and waving back and forth in the raw April wind. The 50-degree weather tells you that everything will be green and growing soon, but for now it’s hard to tell what season it is. Or maybe I can’t tell what time of year it is because this season’s traditional signposts have vanished.

I set out to win 60 percent of my league matches for the year. I'd use my club's ball machine to work on my strokes.My last match before everything stopped was on March 12 and it was on the road.

Big events. Olympic events. Unthinkable events. My mind started to tick forward, week by week, month by month, through the tennis calendar. Every possibility seemed more unreal than the last. No Indian Wells? Could that actually happen? No Miami? Really? What about Monte Carlo and Rome and the clay swing? No Roland Garros? It seemed inconceivable—borderline illegal.
