Tel Aviv Open canceled because of the Israel-Hamas war،
LONDON — The Tel Aviv Tennis Open scheduled for next month has been canceled due to the war between Israel and Hamas.
The ATP men’s tour said the decision was taken after consulting security experts and keeping in mind the safety of players and fans.
“The violence and acts of terrorism witnessed in Israel are beyond comprehension,” said ATP President Andrea Gaudenzi. “We strongly condemn all forms of terrorism and deplore the loss of innocent lives due to this conflict. We hope and pray for peace in the region.”
The event was scheduled for early November.
In last year’s final, Novak Djokovic defeated Marin Cilic in straight sets to win the title.
