The 134th edition of the legendary Wimbledon tennis tournament has been cancelled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. This year’s edition was due to take place from June 29 to July 12. The tournament’s leadership has decided not to reschedule the event this year. The next edition of the championships is now set to take place in 2021, from June 28 to July 11. Wimbledon had only previously been cancelled during World War I and World War II. The decision has immediately been followed by the decision by the LTA, ATP, WTA and ITF to cancel the rest of the 2020 grass court season for all men’s and women’s tournaments until July 13.
