Wimbledon to allow maximum fan attendance on Centre Court for finals
ATPTuesday, 15 June 2021 at 07:00
A year after the tournament was canceled due to the pandemic, the organizers of Wimbledon have announced that the prestigious Grand Slam event will be allowed to have a full crowd of 15,000 at Centre Court for the men’s and women’s finals next month.
Scheduled to begin on June 28, the tournament directors were hoping to have 50% fan capacity at the start. With the government's decision to ease COVID-19 restrictions on crowds, this will now lead to a gradual increase that will culminate with 100% fan attendance on July 10-11 with the women's and men's singles title matches.
"We want to gather further evidence on how we can open up all big events safely, and for good," Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said in a statement. "In the next few weeks this means more fans enjoying the Euros and Wimbledon, and some of our biggest cultural and sports events."
Wimbledon’s cancellation in 2020 was the first time since World War II that the tournament hadn’t been played.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
