The Montreal WTA tournament, one of the key build-up events ahead of the US Open, was axed on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) and will not be played until 2021, officials said. “As a result of the measures imposed by the Quebec government prohibiting holding events until August 31, the Rogers Cup in Montreal will postpone their event to 2021,” said a WTA statement. We understand this was a difficult decision and we look forward to being back in Montreal in 2021.”Tournament director Eugene Lapierre said the decision was made for them. “As it currently stands, the WTA Tour is suspended through July 12,” added Saturday’s statement. “We will continue to work with our tournament partners in evaluating when we will be able to get back on the court.
