The tournament in Washington DC that was due to mark the resumption of the men's tennis season after the coronavirus lockdown next month has been cancelled, the ATP said.

The ATP said “continued uncertainties” about the situation concerning the coronavirus pandemic had forced organisers to cancel the Citi Open tournament which had been due to start on August 13.

“Unfortunately for the moment there are still large factors at play which are outside of our control. We look forward to the Citi Open returning as one of our signature American events in 2021,” said ATP chairman Andrea Gaudenzi.
