The Wimbledon quarter-finals are at 100 percent capacity

Wimbledon (London). Wimbledon’s center and number one singles quarterfinals may be allowed to accommodate up to 100 percent of capacity. This arrangement will remain in place till the end of the tournament. Wimbledon organizers the All England Club said on Sunday that it would be the first time in Britain since the start of the coronavirus pandemic last year that an outdoor stadium would allow 100 percent capacity during a sporting event.

Wimbledon was canceled in 2020 due to the escalation of the Covid-19 pandemic. This is the first time in its 75-year history that the oldest Grand Slam tournament has not been held. The club said the attendance limit on the two main courts will be increased from the current 50 per cent following the successful hosting of the first week of the championship and government approval.
