The Wimbledon tennis tournament is planning its comeback in 2021.

Wimbledon was the only Grand Slam tournament cancelled this year because of the coronavirus pandemic, but the All England Club announced plans for its return next year.

All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton says staging the Championships in 2021 is their number one priority and they are actively engaged in scenario planning in order to deliver on that priority.

The tournament, cancelled this year for the first time since 1945, is scheduled to run next year from June 28-July 11.
