Wimbledon OFF
The All England Club announced that Wimbledon will not be staged this year for the first time since World War II, citing "public health concerns linked to the coronavirus epidemic".
Wimbledon officials confirmed there was no realistic prospect of delaying until later this year, and therefore the 134th Championships will be the ones beginning on June 28 2021.
The ATP and WTA announced they were also extending their existing suspension into July, but the US Tennis Association issued a statement saying they were still working towards staging the US Open from August 24.
Footballer wages
Football chiefs are set to continue seeking ways to salvage the domestic season as the sporting shutdown is extended due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The players' union, the Professional Footballers' Association, is holding talks with the Premier League, the English Football League and the League Managers' Association regarding a possible collective agreement on wage deferral.
The bodies issued a statement saying that although no decisions had been reached on Wednesday, they shared a "constructive" meeting, and would continue talks "in the next 48 hours".
