AELTC gives update on planning of Wimbledon 2020

The 2020 Wimbledon is still set to start on 29th June 2020. Suspension of both ATP & WTA Tour until 7th June, postponement of the Olympic Games and rescheduling 2020 French Open created also a lot of questions about the Championship 2020. Richard Lewis, the All England Lawn Tennis Club Chief Executive now gave an update on planning of the Wimbledon when he said:

“The unprecedented challenge presented by the COVID-19 crisis continues to affect our way of life in ways that we could not have imagined, and our thoughts are with all those affected in the UK and around the world. The single most important consideration is one of public health, and we are determined to act responsibly through the decisions we make. We are working hard to bring certainty to our plans for 2020 and have convened an emergency meeting of the AELTC Main Board for next week, at which a decision will be made.”
