As lockdown restrictions put in place in response to the COVID-19 pandemic begin to ease in some parts of the world, the ITF has compiled the latest national updates regarding guidelines on a return to recreational tennis.
The following information has been compiled by the ITF with help from our Regional Associations and ITF Development Officers. As of 25 May 2020, 110 of 210 ITF member nations have guidelines in place that permit the use of tennis facilities.
Please note:
