Players are at home taking comfort during these chaotic times by spending time with their pets. In a normal season, most pros don't travel with their dogs, especially if they're not travel-sized. And they don't spend many weeks at home, cuddling with their canines... until now.

There's Elise Mertens and her workout buddy.
