Hamilton fumes; ATP suspend tour
The ATP announced Thursday it was suspending the men's tennis tour for six weeks "due to escalating health and safety issues" arising from the coronavirus pandemic.
"This is not a decision that was taken lightly," said ATP chairman Andrea Gaudenzi.
Elsewhere, World champion Lewis Hamilton said he was "very surprised" that the Australian Grand Prix was going ahead, as more Formula One staff were isolated and teams limited contact with fans.
"I am really very, very surprised that we're here. I don't think it's great that we have races but it really is shocking that we're all sitting in this room," Hamilton said at an official press briefing.
Asked why he felt the race was still on, Hamilton replied: "Cash is king."
