ATP adds four events

The ATP Tour announced yesterday the addition of four new tournaments in October as tennis continues its return in a season heavily disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic. The updated men’s schedule includes back-to-back indoor hardcourt events in Cologne, Germany, right after the French Open, and a clay tournament in Sardinia, Italy, which also starts on October 12. A competition in the Kazakh capital Nur-Sultan will run from October 26 to November 1. The events will be on single-year license as the ATP offers professionals the opportunity to earn money and ranking points in the wake of the coronavirus shutdown. “Adding new events to the Tour calendar is a positive step given the many challenges our sport has faced this year, and I would like to thank all the event organizers on the calendar,” said ATP Chairman Andrea Gaudenzi. All the events will be subject to satisfying strict health and safety, international travel and ATP event requirements.
