PThe days are roasting and there is still no official professional tennis calendar for the 2021 season. The delay of the Australian Open, which is due to start on January 18 and will finally start on February 8, has been compounded by the difficulty of managing forward the Indian Wells tournament, which will appear, under normal conditions, from the second week of March.
In this way, waiting to know what happens with the California Masters 1,000, which is a WTA 1,000 in finals, the intrigue of what the roadmap will be for the first part of the new course will be maintained, at least until next week.
As MARCA has learned, tennis players have received a notification this afternoon from the ATP that they will have to wait a few more days to find out how everything is: if there is a Latin American land tour, with Cordoba, Buenos Aires or Rio, if there is a European indoor tour, with Rotterdam or Marseille, or if a new tour of events is finally created in the Gulf of Mexico.
The male circuit also reports that work continues with Tennis Australia to develop a minimum of two tournaments in Melbourne the week before the first ‘Grand Slam’, once the players finish the 14-day quarantine.
In the case of the WTA, it has programmed a WTA 500 and another 250 before the Open, and a WTA 250 the second week of the big one.
