SINGAPORE: Singapore will host an ATP 250 tennis tournament next month, under strict COVID-19 measures and travel protocols for players and officials, said Sport Singapore (SportSG) on Wednesday (Jan 20).
This comes after the ATP, the governing body of men’s professional tennis, awarded single-year licences for the 2021 season to Singapore and Spain's Marbella.
The two new ATP 250 events in Singapore and Spain are part of measures to increase playing opportunities that were curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic, said ATP in a separate release.
The Singapore tournament will be a hardcourt event and is scheduled to take place at the Singapore Sports Hub from Feb 20 to 28.
