USTA STATEMENT ON EVENT CANCELLATIONS
(August 17, 2020) Due to the situation surrounding COVID-19, the USTA has canceled all National junior events through Oct. 12, as well as all adult Category 1 events, comprising the Adult, Open, Family, and Age divisions, through the end of 2020.
The decision to cancel was made to ensure the health and safety of all those involved as the interstate travel required for these tournaments carries an increased risk. In addition, the different regulations, restrictions and quarantine periods, dependent upon the localities involved, both at the site of the event and in the participants’ home states were considered.
The safety of the actual tennis being played did not factor into the decision to cancel the events. In order to encourage local play opportunities that do not require extensive travel, junior and adult players will now be able to earn national rankings points at select Section-level events.
Please visit the USTA website to see a complete list of the canceled events. Players are encouraged to contact their Sections to find more information on how these changes will impact local events.

USTA Pro Circuit Event Cancellations – Aug. 13, 2020
Due to the ongoing situation surrounding COVID-19, the USTA has canceled all ITF World Tennis Tour and ATP Challenger events taking place in the U.S. in September. This decision was made to ensure the health and safety of all those involved with these events. Although detailed health and safety protocols had been planned, without the creation of a controlled environment that includes a comprehensive and contained lodging, transportation, food and beverage, and medical testing program in place, as will be the case for the Western & Southern Open and US Open, proper risk mitigation would not be possible—and in the case of these events, this type of environment would logistically and financially be difficult to create.
The events include:
- Week of Sept. 14
- Cary, N.C. – ATP Challenger 80
- Champaign, Ill. – M15
- Week of Sept. 21
- Columbus, Ohio – ATP Challenger 80
- Fayetteville, Ark. – M15
- Lubbock, Texas – W15
