The 2020 Indian Wells Masters, or BNP Paribas Open if you like, “will not take place at this time” due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The main draw matches were due to start on Wednesday, but there has been a confirmed case of COVID-19 in the region and California health officials are taking no risks as they have declared a public health emergency for the Coachella Valley.

Jamie Murray concerned about the rest of the Tour.

Denis Shapovalov with a few words.

Sacha Bajin wants to know if they should’ve just held the tournament without any spectators.
