WTA rules no Asian tournament swing due to COVID-19 restrictions
The Peninsula
The WTA wiped out the Asian swing of tournaments from its calendar for a second successive year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with only the WTA Finals yet to be cancelled.
The tournaments, which typically kick off after conclusion of the U.S. Open in September, cannot be held due to travel restrictions in China and Japan, the WTA said Thursday, adding that it was working to relocate the events. "We are disappointed that our world-class events in China and Japan will not take place this year," WTA CEO Steve Simon said in a statement.More Related News
