What’s the plan for the 2020 events we’re missing out on?

Jeremy Stern April 6, 2020

Wimbledon has been cancelled because of the Coronavirus for the first time since WW2, meaning that there will be no official tennis tournaments anywhere in the world until July – and perhaps for even longer. And with hundreds of promotions connected with this year’s major sports and music events we thought we would take a look at what the future holds for some of the main ones.
