The news was confirmed when the ATP announced the schedule for the first seven weeks of the men’s tour next year.
The season will start with events in Delray Beach in the United States and Antalya in Turkey on 5 January.
There will be two tournaments in Melbourne starting on 31 January – one of which is the relocated Adelaide International – while a condensed 12-team ATP Cup will take place from 1 to 5 February.
“The reconfigured calendar for the start of the 2021 season represents a huge collaborative effort across tennis, under challenging circumstances,” ATP chairman Andrea Gaudenzi said.
“Health and safety will continue to be paramount as we navigate the challenges ahead.” (BBC)
