For My Next Trick… Roger-Vasselin's Quarantine Countdown

  • Posted: Jan 28, 2021

With players soon to come out of quarantine in Australia, the countdown is on for the start of the 12-team ATP Cup, in addition to two ATP 250 events, the Great Ocean Road Open and the Murray River Open, which all begin next week.

Edouard Roger-Vasselin, who set off for Melbourne on 14 January, has kept his mind occupied during the 14-day quarantine in his hotel room by reading, texting friends, watching films and producing countdown videos.

Roger-Vasselin, who will represent Team France at the ATP Cup alongside Gael Monfils, Benoit Paire and Nicolas Mahut, has kept himself and Twitter fans entertained. Using tennis balls and his equipment, water bottles, a pack of cards and assorted fruit, the Frenchman has taken up to three hours to perfectly construct elaborate runs, which he captured on short videos for fans.

On 20 January, Roger-Vasselin posted this video, which took approximately 50 attempts to perfect.

With five days left in quarantine, Roger-Vasselin posted a different attempt on 25 January.

Today, he posted a far simpler video, which he promises to clean up.

The Great Ocean Road Open and Murray River Open begin in Melbourne on 1 February and the ATP Cup, featuring 12 of the Top 13 in the FedEx ATP Rankings, gets underway on 2 February.
