(London) The Tel Aviv Open, which was scheduled for next month, has been canceled due to the war between Israel and Hamas, the ATP announced.

The men’s tour said the decision was taken after consulting security experts, as well as keeping in mind the safety of players and fans.

“The violence and acts of terrorism in Israel are beyond comprehension,” said ATP President Andrea Gaudenzi. We strongly condemn all forms of terrorism and deplore the loss of innocent lives. We hope and pray for peace in the region. »

The event was scheduled for early November.

Last year, Novak Djokovic became the champion by beating Marin Cilic in two sets.
