2020 French Open May 24 - June 07,2020 - Tournament Re-Scheduled to Sep 20 - Oct 04,2020
The second Grand Slam event of the year, French Open 2020, has been
pushed behind to September and October 2020 due to the uncertainty revolving
around the coronavirus crisis that has grappled the world.
French Open 2020 was originally meant to be held from May 24-June 7 but will now take place from September 20-October 4,2020
In the press release by the
tournament organisers, they said, "In order to ensure the health and
safety of everyone involved in organising the tournament, the French
Tennis Federation has made the decision to hold the 2020 edition of
Roland-Garros from 20th September to 4th October 2020
"Though nobody is able to predict what the situation will be
on 18th May, the current confinement measures have made it impossible
for us to continue with our preparations and, as a result, we are unable
to hold the tournament on the dates originally planned."
The organisers said that any tickets purchase that has already
been made will either be refunded or exchanged for the new dates, the
details of which will be released later
"We have made a difficult yet brave decision in this
UNPRECEDENTED situation, which has evolved greatly since last weekend.
We are acting responsibly, and must work together in the fight to ensure
everybody's health and safety," Bernard Giudicelli, president of the
FFT, said in the release.
