Wimbledon Tournament Canceled for First Time Since World War II

The Championships 2020 will be canceled due to public health concerns linked to the coronavirus epidemic, according to a statement Wednesday by the All England Club and the Committee of Management of The Championships. It will instead be held from June 28 to July 11, 2021.

All England Club Chairman Ian Hewitt said it has “weighed heavily on our minds that the staging of The Championships has only been interrupted previously by World Wars.”
