Wimbledon, Feb 5: Wimbledon organizers are planning for a reduced-capacity crowd at this year’s Grand Slam tournament, though other options remain, the All England Club said.
The club previously announced that the tournament, canceled in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic, would go ahead with or without fans.
The three options are full capacity, reduced capacity or no fans.
“The majority of our planning focus is currently centered on the option of a reduced capacity Championships and how that would affect each stakeholder group, but we are not yet in a position to rule out any of the other scenarios,” the club said in a statement on Thursday.
The Grand Slam tournament, called off last year for the first time since 1945, is scheduled to run from June 28-July 11. (AP)
