In any case, the Australian Open will be finished in 2021 without foreign spectators. That said Craig Tiley, director of the Grand Slam tournament in Melbourne, in an interview with the Australian Associated Press.
“Our worst case scenario is that there will be no Australian Open,” said Tiley. “At the moment, the best scenario is a tournament with quarantined players and only fans from Australia.”
Until mid-July, there will be no matches and tournaments due to the worldly coronavirus outbreak. In addition, a large part of the tennis calendar has already been adjusted.
For example, Wimbledon was canceled and Roland Garros was postponed to September. The US Open, which initially starts in August, is reportedly planning to continue the tournament in the coming month.
The Australian Open could just take place in January this year, even though the tournament was ravaged by wildfires in Australia. Novak Djokovic won among the men, Sofia Kenin triumphed among the women. Over 800,000 people visited Melbourne Park during the fourteen tournament days.
