Like UEFA, which moved the Champions League final planned for May 26 in St. Petersburg to Paris one day after Russian troops invaded Ukraine, the ATP has now also reacted to the general political weather situation. Due to safety concerns for the players, the ATP Challenger tournament scheduled for next week in Moscow has been cancelled.

A few days ago it was also announced that the ATP Tour 250 tournament was moving from St. Petersburg to Nur-Sultan this year. The reason for this transfer is said to be that the organizers of St. Petersburg are aiming to upgrade their tournament to the 500 category.
