Our intention is to finish the tournament with less or no fans: ATP Spokesperson

In just a matter of days, ATP will be returning in August after being put at a halt by the pandemic. However, his season’s final will be in November only, which is extremely important for ATP, both tournament as well as financial wise.

And as usual, it will be held in the same O2 Arena in London. Fans will only be allowed if the situation calms by then. However, the organizers fear that if the situation demands the tournament will go ahead behind doors.

But this isn’t the concern, the main difficulty will arise during the ATP finals, as there are different rules in different places, like players coming from the US will first be quarantined for a period of 14 days which will be compulsory.
