How Will Australian Open and Indian Wells Be In 2021.

Over the weekend, Jon Wertheim of Sports Illustrated and Tennis Channel tweeted that the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells was all but certain not to happen in March, though later clarified rescheduling was still a viable option on the table for tournament organizers.

One tournament that is already eyeing one of those slots is the indoor-hard event in Marseille, currently slated to run against the second week of the Australian Open if Melbourne’s three-week delay is confirmed.

In a translated statement posted to its website Tuesday, the ATP 250 tournament said, “The Open 13 Provence is likely to take place in March from 8 to 14. Everything will depend on whether Indian Wells is maintained or not.”

A week ago, The ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament tweeted, “we assume that a good solution will be found,” in reference to Tennis Australia’s intention of pushing back the Slam it oversees into Rotterdam’s scheduled week of February 8. The ATP 500-level event has crowned champions such as Arthur Ashe, Jimmy Connors, Stefan Edberg and Roger Federer throughout its rich history dating back to 1974.
