In a statement issued by organizers, it was officially confirmed that the tournament – which has oft been dominated by Serena Williams – will not be taking place this year. Instead, present circumstances mean it’ll be back in summer 2021.

It is with great regret that the AELTC has today decided that The Championships 2020 will be cancelled due to public health concerns linked to the coronavirus epidemic.
