The Open Citi, which is expected to begin on August 13, has been canceled due to coronavirus problems.
The tournament made a statement today, saying it did everything it could to bring tennis back.
“After months of tireless work by our team and close collaboration with our numerous stakeholders, we are heartbroken to announce that unfortunately we must postpone the 52nd Citi Open until the summer of 2021.
There are only 23 days left before the tournament starts, there are too many unresolved external problems, including various restrictions on international travel and worrying health and safety trends, which have forced us to make this decision now fairly for our players. , suppliers and partners, so that they can be sure of their planning. “
In the meantime, the US Open has released a statement, stating that the decision in no way affects its plans to hold the Western and Southern Masters and the US Open in a bubble in New York later in August.
