The global COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant impact on tennis. Movement restrictions imposed by governments have resulted in the suspension of the international tennis calendar. Once these restrictions have been relaxed, it may be possible to organise sporting competitions again with or, most likely in the short term at least, without spectators. The primary aim of this document is to set guidelines for minimum and recommended standards for the organisation of tennis competitions. This document has been developed in accordance with the WHO guidelines on the organisation of sports events and with input from the Chair of the ITF Sport Science & Medicine Commission. It is intended to supplement the existing organisational requirements for ITF events, rather than a substitute for them.
