TOKYO: The Toray Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo has been cancelled for 2020 due to safety fears amid the COVID-19 pandemic, organisers of the annual women's tournament said on Tuesday.
Last week, the men's ATP Tour and the women's WTA were forced to cancel all of their remaining tournaments in China for this year in the wake of the country's ban on international sporting events due to the pandemic.
"The executive committee, together with the WTA, has been exploring various measures to hold the tournament, such as holding matches without spectators," the organisers of the Premier level tournament said in a statement. Agencies
