Cabinet Minister Michael Gove has apologised for keeping the hopes of tennis players alive when he suggested yesterday that lockdown rules in England will ban only doubles but allow for a game of singles outside.

“My apologies, I got this wrong,” wrote Gove on Twitter on Tuesday. “Outdoor leisure facilities including tennis courts and golf courses will be closed from Thursday.”
