The tennis season has been at a standstill since mid-March due to Covid-19. The 50th edition of the tournament, which Roger Federer has won 10 times, will take place next year from October 23-31. The organisers had said they believed a tournament with social distancing or behind closed doors was impractical. “The ATP has officially approved the cancellation request from Basel, even though the tournament management had already declared in mid-June that it would be irresponsible and unrealistic to organise the event because of the medical, social and economic uncertainty linked to the situation,” the organisers said in a statement. The Swiss Indoor tennis tournament in Basel, scheduled from October 24 to November 1, has been cancelled in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, the organisers announced on Tuesday.
