Wimbledon
Since the emergence of COVID-19 pandemic last year, the world has forced to restrict itself on many fronts. On the sporting front, many tournaments have been cancelled or re-scheduled. In 2020 for tennis, we saw how the ATP and WTA tournaments got affected.
Most of the threat this season has been terminated, but it cannot be ruled out completely. Although three out of the four Grand Slams took place in 2020, Wimbledon couldn’t make the cut. Due to the rising cases in UK, the authorities had to cancel the event. However, The All Championships at the All England Club is expected to go ahead this year.
The authorities today have made it official that tournament would be played in the fourth week of June. They are also planning having at least 25% of fan capacity for 2021 with hopes to increase the numbers further, if the Covid-19 restrictions continue to be eased, as planned.
