Sydney: Tennis Australia CEO Craig Tiley on Friday said that the Australian Open Grand Slam is on track to proceed early next year and will include a full schedule of events.
"In terms of our plans for the Australian Open, as we've been saying for the past few weeks, we're optimistic about having an AO in January with all the events and all the players," Tiley said as per the Tennis Australia website.
He expressed the national body's support for wheelchair tennis men's number one, Dylan Alcott, who has slammed the US Open organisers for excluding his category.
The US Open is set to be held as per its original schedule from August 31 to September 13 with restrictions amid the coronavirus pandemic. IANS
