The ATP Tour canceled its inaugural $1 million Israel Open men’s tennis tournament in Tel Aviv because of fighting in the Gaza Strip between Israel and the Palestinians that’s lasted almost four weeks.
The tournament, scheduled for Sept. 15-21, was set to become the first ATP World Tour event held in Israel since 1996. It was previously hosted in St. Petersburg, Russia.
