Tennis Australia to stage pro series at closed stadiums

The Hindu  

Tennis Australia will give local professionals a chance to earn income while global tours remain suspended amid the coronavirus pandemic when the UTR Pro Tennis Series starts in Sydney on Saturday, TA CEO Craig Tiley said on Wednesday. Players will compete for A$450,000 in the series, with matches taking place at closed stadiums and under strict biosecurity protocols in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. “Our team has put an enormous amount of time and effort into the planning of these events, and have worked closely with the authorities and tennis staff on the ground to ensure they are run according to strict local biosecurity protocols,” he said. Professional tennis has been under the microscope with the cancellation of the Adria Tour in the Balkans, where world number one Novak Djokovic and several top players competed before testing positive for COVID-19.
