US Open is also considering postponement

“These are unprecedented times and we are evaluating all of our options, including the possibility of rescheduling the tournament to a later date,” said the organizers of the major tournament in New York. However, the US Open added that they only wanted to make a decision “in full consultation” with the other Grand Slam tournaments, the player organizations ATP and WTA, the world association ITF and the Laver Cup organized by Roger Federer. These other affected parties were apparently surprised by the postponement of the French Open, the most famous clay court tournament in tennis is now scheduled to take place from September 20th to October 4th. If the US Open takes place as planned from August 31st to September 13th, there will be just a week between the two world-class events. In addition, the French Open would collide with numerous ATP and WTA tournaments as well as the Laver Cup (September 25th to 27th). “As of now, we are planning to hold the Laver Cup 2020 as planned,” the organizers of the event in Boston have already announced. The news about the postponement of the French Open caused a lack of understanding among many professionals. “This is crazy,” tweeted Vasek Pospisil, number 93 in the world from Canada who sits on the players’ council. Above all, he criticized the lack of communication from the ATP players' organization. The men's tour (until April 26th) and women's tour WTA (May 2nd) had recently announced longer breaks.
