As lockdown restrictions put in place in response to the COVID-19 pandemic begin to ease in some parts of the world, the ITF has compiled the latest national updates regarding guidelines on a return to recreational tennis.

The following information has been compiled by the ITF with help from our Regional Associations and ITF Development Officers. As of 18 May 2020, 109 of 210 ITF member nations have guidelines in place that permit the use of tennis facilities.

Please note:

• This information relates to recreational tennis being permitted under the restrictions of the relevant national authority
• National government guidelines have formed the basis of the information provided; nations may impose further regional restrictions not detailed here (for example in Great Britain, where England, Scotland and Wales each have different guidelines)
• Players must follow any health and safety instructions put in place by the local authority; for example, this may include who you are permitted to play with, or restrictions regarding doubles
• This information is up to date as of 18 May 2020 and will be updated weekly

The following maps and list are for illustrative purposes only – all tennis players should follow the instructions of their local authority. To get in touch with your National Association, you can find their contact details here.
