Former world No. 4 Pat Cash was heartbroken after Wimbledon got cancelled.
On Wednesday, the ATP and WTA extended the tours suspension through to July 13 due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Last week, the AELTC announced that an emergency board meeting would take place this week to determine the faith of Wimbledon.
Wimbledon was scheduled to take place from June 29 - July 12.
"It is with great regret that the Main Board of the All England Club (AELTC) and the Committee of Management of The Championships have today decided that The Championships 2020 will be cancelled due to public health concerns linked to the coronavirus epidemic. The 134th Championships will instead be staged from 28 June to 11 July 2021," Wimbledon said in a statement released.
"Uppermost in our mind has been the health and safety of all of those who come together to make Wimbledon happen – the public in the UK and visitors from around the world, our players, guests, members, staff, volunteers, partners, contractors, and local residents – as well as our broader responsibility to society’s efforts to tackle this global challenge to our way of life."
Cash claimed his maiden Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 1987.
"Obviously heart broken losing the championships at Wimbledon this year," Cash said in a Twitter post. "I’m saddened as the club supports hundreds of desperate local charities with the profits. Players are adaptable thats a strength as pros it’s the small people on the fringes who are really hurting now!
