USTA Suspends Events Until April 20 Due to Coronavirus Concerns

The USTA announced Friday that it would suspend all play through April 20 due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.

The decree encompasses adult and junior tournaments, league tennis, junior team tennis, USTA school programs, tennis on campus and USTA pro circuit events. The organization's intent is to reschedule all events for a later date "where possible"—not to fully cancel.

The USTA will continue to evaluate what to do about events after April 20.

The news comes a day after the ATP decided to suspend play for at least six weeks, and four days after organizers for the Indian Wells Masters announced they would cancel the tournament, becoming the first prominent tennis event to do so.
