WIMBLEDON, July 2: The WTA and ATP tours both cancelled tennis tournaments scheduled in China and Japan later this year — although the women’s circuit said its WTA Finals are “still under discussion.”
The WTA said it had to scrap plans for events in Asia that typically follow the U.S. Open late in the season because of “continued COVID-19 concerns and travel restrictions.”
The tour added that it is trying to move tournaments to offer players more opportunities to compete in the future. (AP)
