Andy Murray will be looking to beat the likes of Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal and go on to win a third Wimbledon trophy at this years Grand Slam event. But while those attending the event can expect the usual treats of Pimms in the sun and strawberries and cream, there will be quite a lot of changes in accordance with Covid-19 safety measures. Heres everything you need to know ahead of the event. Following yesterdays announcement that the final stage of lockdown easing on June 21 will be delayed by four weeks , the UK government has confirmed that the Wimbledon finals will still have full capacity as a Covid pilot event. All courts at Wimbledon 2021 will operate at 50 per cent capacity for the majority of the event, while both the womens final on July 10 and the mens final on July 11 are set to be played on Centre Court in front of full capacity crowds. This means around 15,000 spectators will be allowed on Centre Court for each day of the finals weekend. There isnt long to wait until the top-class tennis action kicks off, because Wimbledon 2021 will run from Monday, June 28 until Sunday, July 11. The event will take place just two weeks after the conclusion of the French Open, which saw Novak Djokovic win the mens final in five sets on Sunday, June 13. Along with Euros 2020 matches and some theatrical performances, the upcoming tournament will be used as one of the governments pilot events. The trials are part of an events research programme gathering evidence to decide how all big events can be opened up safely. The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC), who organise Wimbledon, are still reportedly finalising Covid rules, including requirements for Covid-status certification for spectators ahead of the event.
