After a successful opening week, the Championships have now been given permission to operate at full capacity from Tuesday's women's quarterfinals onwards on Centre Court and No.1 Tennis Court.

Wimbledon is being used as a pilot event for the safe return of crowds as part of the British Government's Events Research Programme.

It will mark the first time outdoor stadiums will be at full capacity at a sporting event in Great Britain since the coronavirus pandemic shut down sports in the country in March 2020.
