The U.S. Open, a Super 300 tournament on the BWF World Tour, was due to take place from Oct. 4-9.

"USA Badminton concluded that it was no longer feasible for them to host their tournament this year due to organisational complications coming out of Covid-19," badminton's governing body said in a statement.

This is the third straight edition of the tournament to have been cancelled due to Covid-19.

The Indonesia Masters starts later on Tuesday.
