This spring's professional clay-court swing was wiped out today.
The ATP and WTA extended the suspension of their tours through June 7 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Affected are combined ATP/WTA tournaments in Madrid and Rome, WTA events in Strasbourg and Rabat, and ATP events in Munich, Estoril, Geneva and Lyon.
Also suspended through June 7 are ATP Challenger tournaments and the ITF World Tennis Tour.
The French Tennis Federation announced Tuesday that Roland Garros will be moved from May 24-June 7 to Sept. 20-Oct. 4, one week after the U.S. Open.
ATP and WTA rankings will be frozen indefinitely.
