This was all spin by Tiley and Andrews - The OZ Open was never going to be played in Asia because countries have locked down their borders and probably only China has the infrastructure to run a Grand Slam - My information is that if there was no OZ Open in 2021, there may have been well funded pop uo tournaments in the Middle East - It's the Middle East who is the only threat long-term for the Aussie Open.They were worried that the oz open would go on in 2022 and the tournament go to a Beijing or dubai if 2021 did not go on. Who knows what the contract states ? Like the f1 gp
