LONDON, Jan 14 (Reuters) - The German Open women’s tournament in Berlin has been cancelled, the WTA said on Wednesday.

“The tournament won’t be on the 2009 calendar but the tournament being scrapped has nothing to do with the global credit crunch,” a WTA spokeswoman said.

“The Qatar Tennis Federation, owner of the Berlin tournament membership, has made the decision that they no longer wish to operate the German Open in Berlin and to sell the membership back to the Tour.”

The claycourt event usually takes place in May and has been one of the traditional warm-up tournaments for the French Open
