Wimbledon to welcome full capacity crowds on Tuesday

Wimbledon organizers at the All England Club in London announced Sunday that Centre Court and No. 1 Court will increase to 100-percent capacity starting in the singles quarterfinal round of the tournament.

The women's quarterfinals are scheduled to begin on Tuesday, while the men's quarters will be contested on Wednesday.

Wimbledon will be the first sporting event in Great Britain to be played with a 100 percent capacity crowd since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

The capacity of Centre Court is 14,979, and No. 1 Court is 12,345.

Attendances have been capped at 50 percent since the start of the tournament last Monday.

The tournament was not contested last year due to the pandemic. — Reuters/Field Level Media
