The 2021 tennis season has not yet started and the problems setting up the calendar they do nothing but grow. That has already caused several tournaments to fall for the next campaign, as is the case with the traditional appointment that gave way to the beginning of the course in recent years. And is that the Abu Dhabi exhibition tournament, where many important figures of the circuit began their filming before the important events in the month of January, has been canceled.
As the tournament organizers point out in their official statement, the calendar complications that emerged in recent weeks to frame the first tournaments of 2021 make it impossible to carry out the Mubadala World Tennis Championship, which has been held uninterruptedly since 2009.
“The safety and well-being of our guests, players, officials and spectators always comes first and we look forward to welcoming the Championship in 2021,” the tournament announced on its Instagram profile. So things, Rafa Nadal will not be able to choose to revalidate a trophy that he won last year for the fifth time against Stefanos Tsitsipas, the Balearic being the most successful tennis player in this event. At the very least, we will have to wait until 2021.
