Victoria, 27 May 2021 | Tennis Victoria

The following message was sent to affiliates on Thursday May 27.

Today Acting Premier, The Hon James Merlino announced new COVID-19 restrictions for the state of Victoria from 11:59pm tonight (Thursday 27 May 2021).

Victoria will enter a 7-day circuit breaker lockdown. This means tennis activity must cease for this period as all indoor and outdoor physical recreation and sport facilities must close.

Tennis Victoria Pennant matches scheduled for this weekend are now cancelled and will not be rescheduled. Match points will be split in the same manner as a washout.

There are only 5 reasons to leave your home during this lockdown period:

• to get food and supplies
• caregiving and compassionate reasons
• exercise for up to two hours
• permitted work or education
• to get the vaccine

Please check the public exposure sites to keep you and your community safe.

We know this is a difficult time for everyone in the tennis community. Please reach out to the Tennis Victoria team if we can provide support during this time.
