Beijing time, April 18th, due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, the 2020 Laver Cup will be postponed to September 24-26, 2021 in the Boston TD Garden in the United States.
Since the release of the French Open statement in March, the organizers of the Laver Cup have been closely following the development trend of the epidemic with their partners Australia Network Association, the American Network Association and ATP. Finally, based on the actual situation, they had to make a decision to postpone it.
"Now is the time for us to make a decision." Tony Gordesaike, chairman of the Laver Cup and CEO of TEAM8, said. "We know that so many enthusiastic fans will feel a little disappointed because they have to wait for a year to enjoy the exciting game, but this is a responsible behavior and a way to resolve conflicts in the tennis schedule."
"The news is announced now in the hope of giving our fans, players, sponsors, broadcasters, partners, employees, all volunteers and Boston a clear explanation. We are very grateful for everyone's selfless dedication, hard work, support and understanding. We can't wait to spend a happy time with everyone in Boston in 2021. "
" The most important thing is that our hearts are with all the people affected by the new crown epidemic, those who are fighting on the front line and protect us from the safety of us."
" It's a pity that the Laver Cup has to be postponed for a year, but at the moment, this decision is very correct for everyone." 20th Grand Slam champion Federer said. "Although I'm a little disappointed, the good news is that the 2021 Laver Cup will also be held in TD Garden in Boston, and I'm looking forward to it."
