Uncertainty over the coronavirus should compel tennis to cancel the rest of the 2020 season and restart in 2021 says Judy Murray.

The former British Fed Cup captain told BBC Sport unless a COVID-19 vaccine is developed, tennis should restart in 2021 to ensure safety and fairness for all players.

The mother and original coach of former singles world No. 1 Andy Murray and former doubles world No. 1 Jamie Murray says she doesn't believe all players will play tournaments this season anyway.

"We should just park it and start again at the beginning of next year, almost like a clean sheet," Judy Murray told BBC Sport. "That would be fairer to everybody. It feels to me that until there's a vaccine, I don't think you're going to get a full complement of players anywhere."



The ATP and WTA extended suspension of the pro circuit until at least the start of August. The USTA is expected to make an announcement on playing the US Open on Monday.

"It's so tough because everybody sees things in a completely different way," Judy Murray said. "I believe there were 400 players on a Zoom call discussing with the ATP, the men all discussing what they felt about going back and of course you'll get some who desperately want it and there's others who are more cautious and I wouldn't like to be the tournament director."
