Based on the recommendations of the USTA COVID-19 Advisory Group, the USTA believes that it is in the best interest of society to take a collective pause from playing the sport we love. Although there are no specific studies on tennis and COVID-19, medical advisors believe there is the possibility that the virus responsible for COVID-19 could be transmitted through common sharing and handling of tennis balls, gate handles, benches, net posts, and even court surfaces. As a result of this, the USTA asks tennis players to be patient in our return to the courts and consider how our decisions affect not only ourselves, but our broader communities. In the meantime, we encourage everyone to stay active and healthy with at-home exercise. We look forward to our return to tennis in a safe manner and will provide updates as new information becomes available. By practicing all the recommended guidelines presently put forth by our medical experts, that return will happen in the soonest possible timeframe. For now, all USTA sanction products and events, including Adult and Junior Tournaments, League Tennis, Junior Team Tennis, USTA Schools programs, Tennis on Campus, Wheelchair events and USTA Pro Circuit events. The health and safety of all players, staff, fans and volunteers are the foremost concern. This suspension is in effect through May 31 . The USTA’s goal will be to reschedule events where possible following this suspension period. Additionally, recognizing the evolving and fast-changing nature of this situation, the USTA will continue to monitor and assess conditions to make future determinations about events and activities taking place after May 31. All Category 1 and Super Category 2 National Adult Tournaments with an ITF status, all ITF Junior events, and all USTA Pro Circuit and professional events will align with the same calendar as the ITF, ATP and WTA, and be suspended through July 13. Additionally, the following events will be canceled for 2020: USTA League National Championships USTA Junior Team Tennis National Championships USTA Junior Intersectional Team Championships For more information, please click here .
