(24 September 2020, HONG KONG) Due to public health and safety concerns related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Hong Kong Tennis Association is today announcing the cancellation of the 2020 Prudential Hong Kong Tennis Open. The WTA International Series event will return in 2021.
The health and safety of players, spectators, guests, partners, tournament staff and volunteers, as well as the wider community, are our prime concerns.
