The WTA announced today that it has suspended the women's tour until at least May 2 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The suspensions affect clay-court tournaments in Stuttgart, Istanbul and Prague.
The WTA said in a news release that it will decide this week about the remaining European clay-court tournaments: Madrid (May 4-10), Rome (May 11-17), and Nuremberg and Strasbourg (May 18-24). The French Open is scheduled for May 24-June 7.
Last week, the ATP suspended the men's tour for six weeks.
