LONDON: Tennis may not return until 2021 after the coronavirus pandemic caused the cancellation of the entire grasscourt season and most of the claycourt campaign, All England Lawn Tennis Club chief executive Richard Lewis said on Thursday.
"The optimist in me – and I'm often not optimistic – still hopes that the American hardcourt season will take place," Lewis said. "I don't think it's unrealistic to say that there may be no more tennis this year. But let's hope that the U.S. Open and Roland Garros can take place."The French Open, originally due to be played from May 24-June 7, was postponed and controversially rescheduled by the French tennis federation for Sept. 20-Oct. 4 - a week after the U.S. Open concludes.
