It appears the answer is no, there will not be a blanket extension of the suspension and it will be up to each section or district to determine how to begin sanctioned play again for USTA League and other team, junior, and social events. National events including Pro and other ITF related events remain suspended through July 31 in line with the ITF and ATP suspensions of play.
This is based on a statement from USTA Southern yesterday, where they state:
Perhaps sections had this information prior to this announcement and were making plans to resume events in June, but June 1 is just 5 days away now so sections may be scrambling to come up with plans, but hopefully they had tentative plans that are ready to go if they deem it appropriate and local rules allow resumption of play.
Stay tuned for announcements from sections. What are you hearing in your area?
And as play resumes, be sure to read my thoughts on 2020 year-end ratings and vote in the poll there.
