The Championships, the official name of the tennis Grand Slam known around the world as Wimbledon, will not be held in 2020.
“It is with great regret that the Main Board of the All England Club (AELTC) and the Committee of Management of The Championships have today decided that The Championships 2020 will be cancelled due to public health concerns linked to the coronavirus epidemic,” the All England Tennis Club announced Wednesday. “The 134th Championships will instead be staged from 28 June to 11 July 2021.”
Organizers expect Britain’s measures to combat the spread of the virus for many months.
