LONDON: Players at this year's French Open contracted the COVID-19 virus but did not make it public and there was an understanding among them not to self-test despite having symptoms, French player Alize Cornet said at Wimbledon on Tuesday.
Yes, it’s only a smattering, but there are empty seats visible at Wimbledon this year. To confirm: this is not what was expected when the grounds were restored to full capacity for the first time in three years. Official numbers from the first day of competition recorded 36,603 on site on Monday, from a potential capacity of 42,000. The Tennis Podcast has reported this was the smallest opening day crowd since 2007. Smatterings were still visible on day two too and, in the case of show courts 2 and 3, a bit more than that. The Queue also appears visibly down on previous years. Explanations as to why touch on a possible lack of sufficient marketing or the effects of the cost of living crisis. But at £27 for a grounds pass that gets you on to all courts bar four, there is barely a better value ticket this summer. And yes, Sue Barker paid The Diary to say that.
