- ‘It’s not unrealistic to say there may be no more tennis this year’
- Hope remains that US Open will still go ahead in August
Richard Lewis, the outgoing chief executive of Wimbledon, hopes tennis can be “off and running again” by August, when the US Open is scheduled to begin, although he admits that there may be “no more tennis this year”.
