The Olympic tennis warmup event for the Rio 2016 Games will be postponed by four months partly because of delays in construction, the International Tennis Federation said.

The test event had initially been scheduled to take place in August 2015. It will now be held in December of that year, Juan Margets, the ITF executive vice president who is responsible for the tournament, said in an interview at the French Open today.
