One of the most important American tennis tournaments will not take place in the United States this spring because the country has not been able to bring the coronavirus under control, tennis officials announced Wednesday.
The BNP Paribas Open, scheduled for Indian Wells, Calif., in March, has been postponed, most likely until late 2021. The professional tennis tours did not announce a substitute date but hope to do so in the coming weeks and months.
“Alternative dates are being assessed for the tournament to potentially take place later in the year,” the ATP Tour said in a statement.
