Wimbledon Championships: Brilliant Measure Taken By The Club

The tournament this year has been canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak that hit the world. It was the first time since World War 2, there wouldn’t be any tennis played on the lawns of this historic club.

They pulled off a great move insuring the event. Due to this decision, the club received more than 174 million pounds from insurers. They initiated a pandemic insurance policy back in 2003 when the SARS virus hit the globe.

Unlike this act by Wimbledon, the French Open and the US Open had to be conducted because they did not have such a policy issued. Most of the players remained disappointed due to the forfeiture of this year’s event.

The 8-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer was gutted due to this decision. With this being his best chance on increasing his tally at the grand slams along with him being in the twilight of his career, it definitely feels like a lost opportunity.

The club has made it clear that they intend to conduct the 2021 edition. The tournament has got the green signal to proceed with or without fans, depending on circumstances at that point in time.?
