The All England Club said Wednesday it is still evaluating whether to postpone or cancel Wimbledon because of the coronavirus pandemic and that it plans to make a decision next week.
That’s when the club’s main board is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting.
Main-draw play at Wimbledon is slated to start June 29, and preparations for the tournament are supposed to begin in late April.
The club’s statement Wednesday said postponing the two-week grass-court tournament would not come “without significant risk and difficulty” because of the surface.
Playing without fans has been ruled out. Wimbledon has not been canceled since World War II.
