USTA COVID-19 Updates
USTA Statement on National Indoor Championships - Oct. 8, 2020
The USTA has canceled the 2020 National Indoor Championships, set to be held at various locations around the country, Nov. 27-30.
The decision to cancel the events was made with the health and safety of all those involved at the forefront, and due to numerous challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic. These included differing local government mandates and policies surrounding indoor building capacities, as well as mandatory quarantine periods due to interstate travel.
USTA Statement on Junior and Adult Event Cancellations - Aug. 17, 2020
Due to the situation surrounding COVID-19, the USTA has canceled all National junior events through Oct. 12, as well as all adult Category 1 events, comprising the Adult, Open, Family and Age divisions, through the end of 2020.
The decision to cancel was made to ensure the health and safety of all those involved, as the interstate travel required for these tournaments carries an increased risk. In addition, the different regulations, restrictions and quarantine periods, dependent upon the localities involved, both at the site of the event and in the participants’ home states, were considered.
The safety of the actual tennis being played did not factor into the decision to cancel the events. In order to encourage local play opportunities that do not require extensive travel, junior and adult players will now be able to earn national rankings points at select Section-level events.
Please see below for the complete list of the canceled events. Players are encouraged to contact their Sections to find more information on how these changes will impact local events.

USTA Statement on Pro Circuit Event Cancellations - Aug. 13, 2020
Due to the ongoing situation surrounding COVID-19, the USTA has canceled all ITF World Tennis Tour and ATP Challenger events taking place in the U.S. in September.
This decision was made to ensure the health and safety of all those involved with these events. Although detailed health and safety protocols had been planned, without the creation of a controlled environment that includes a comprehensive and contained lodging, transportation, food and beverage, and medical testing program in place, as will be the case for the Western & Southern Open and US Open, proper risk mitigation would not be possible—and in the case of these events, this type of environment would logistically and financially be difficult to create.
The events include:
- Week of Sept. 14
- Cary, N.C. – ATP Challenger 80
- Champaign, Ill. – M15
- Week of Sept. 21
- Columbus, Ohio – ATP Challenger 80
- Fayetteville, Ark. – M15
- Lubbock, Texas – W15
The health and safety of the entire tennis community is our top priority. As of June 1, the suspension of USTA Sanctioned products and events is now at the discretion of the USTA Sections and local health authorities.
Tennis Safety: Players
The USTA recognizes that the coronavirus has been affecting different parts of the country in different ways and with different timing. We therefore believe it will be possible for people to return to playing tennis safely in some cities and states sooner than in others, so they can enjoy the many physical and mental benefits that tennis offers so long as they practice physical distancing and follow these safety guidelines that were created in conjunction with our Medical Advisory Group and our Industry partners.
Tennis Safety: Facilities
The USTA recognizes that the coronavirus has been affecting different parts of the country in different ways and with different timing. Tennis providers, coaches and facilities across the country are all different and operate in different local contexts. It is the responsibility of each tennis provider, coach and facility to make that assessment based on their local environment. We have created Facility and Programming Safety Recommendations in conjunction with our Medical Advisory Group and our Industry partners to help maintain a safe environment for all players.
