The Madrid Open tennis tournament has been cancelled

The Madrid Open tennis tournament has been cancelled due to fresh outbreaks of coronavirus in the region, raising doubts around the upcoming US and French Opens.

Originally scheduled for May, the postponed Madrid tournament was scheduled to take place on the clay courts at Caja Magica between September 12 and 20.

The tournament was expected to boast a stellar field, including world number two and five-time champion Rafael Nadal, and would have been a key warm-up event two weeks before the start of the French Open.
