Wimbledon 2020 Cancelled Due to Coronavirus Pandemic
Wimbledon 2020 Cancelled Due to Coronavirus Pandemic After Crisis Talks
Wimbledon chiefs held an emergency board meeting to discuss the fate of the 2020 Championships, which have now been called off for the first time since World War II, due to the coronavirus crisis
Daily Mirror UK, 6 APR 2020
The All England Club held an emergency board meeting to discuss the fate of the 2020 Championships.
And tennis chiefs have now decided to axe this year's tournament, scheduled to begin on June 29, as they could not justify playing it behind closed doors and a postponement was not "without significant risk and difficulty".
The announcement means it will be the first time since World War II that The Championship has not been hosted.
Ultimately, it proved tricky to nail down a date later in the calendar.
