After the successful completion of the grass-court season, it is time for the Tokyo Olympics 2020.

The players have also started reaching Tokyo and will soon begin their training for the biggest sporting event.
The pictures of the rooms in which the athletes are staying for the Tokyo Olympics 2020 are out. Interestingly, the management has made sure that there is only a single bed for every athlete and all these beds are actually made up of cardboard.

Cilic was actually trying to take a dig at the organizers of the Tokyo Olympics 2020. It is believed that in order to avoid any intimacy during the Games, the organizers have arranged single beds made up of cardboard for the players.
World No. 50 Ellen Perez also took a jibe at the organizers and tweeted, “Taking the mattress off the bed and placing it on the floor seems far too easy to fix this problem. Tokyo 2020 did you make the floors anti-sex too? Asking for a friend.”

Russian player Karen Khachanov is facing quite some problems in the room. Standing at 6 feet 6 inches, his head is actually touching the ceiling of the bathroom and in such a situation, it’ll be difficult for him to take a bath.
