The new normal for organizers to hold tennis events is having a lot of COVID-19 protocols. And on some occasions, premium tournaments have been canceled because of the ongoing pandemic.

With limited spectators, they will be seated with social distancing in mind. “We are pleased to be able to offer fans the unique opportunity to see the greatest players in the world compete live for one of the most coveted titles in tennis. In light of the evolving COVID-19 situation, we remain committed to maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for all guests.” Roger Federer and Serena Williams/tennis [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1137184625.jpg]Serena Williams speaks to Roger Federer at Miami Open 2021. (Photo by TPN/Getty Images) The Miami Open will take place after a year’s absence. Back in March 2020, the coronavirus was at its peak and the tennis season was suspended. Miami Open and Indian Wells, which makes up the ‘Sunshine Double’ was canceled. There is clarity now on the 2021 edition of the Miami Open, but the Indian Wells [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/indian-wells-masters/] remains in limbo. Miami Open 2021 will be held from March 22nd to April 4th. The organizers had earlier said [https://www.miamiopen.com/]: “We are pleased that plans to host the Miami Open presented by Itaú, March 22-April 4, 2021, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida” The tournament in Miami also sees a certain Roger Federer [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roger-federer] as its defending champion. And it looks likely that Federer will defend his title this year. And on the women’s side, World No.1 Ash Barty [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ashleigh-barty/] is the defending champion.

Also, the Swiss star mentioned that he went under the knife to lead a normal life with his family post-retirement. He went on to miss the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/australian-open/">Australian Open</a> 2022.
