The Jubilee 50th edition of the Swiss Indoors in Basel was cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
The organizers of the 2020 Swiss Indoors in Basel announced that the event won't take place this year due to the Coronavirus pandemic. This year's event should have been the jubilee 50th edition and chance for the 11th title for Roger Federer in front of the home crowd. However, the event had to be cancelled as the organizers reached an agreement with the ATP. The official statement reads:
"The coronavirus pandemic has forced the cancellation of the third-largest indoor tennis tournament in the world, scheduled to run from 24 October to 1 November. The ATP has formally agreed to Basel’s request to cancel the tournament. As early as mid-June, the Swiss Indoors organisers determined that, in view of the current medical, social and economic uncertainty, it would be irresponsible and logistically difficult to go ahead with the tournament."
"'Unfortunately, coronavirus won’t spare any of us. And social distancing or matches played behind closed doors were out of the question for us from the start,’ is how tournament president Roger Brennwald describes the logical decision to postpone the 50 Years Golden Jubilee event until 23 to 31 October 2021. Swiss Indoors is grateful to its partners and sponsors for their understanding and their consistently positive response to the news."

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
