The Grand Slam tournament at Roland Garros in Paris is set to be allowed up to 1,000 fans per court. The French minister of sport Jean-Michel Blanquer announced the news and also confirmed vaccines will not be mandatory. The tournament was pushed back by one week in a bid to facilitate fans during the Covid-19 pandemic. In his statement Blanquer said, “as of May 30 the rate will be 35 percent, or (at maximum) 1,000 per court.”

Rafael Nadal won a record 13^th title last year, which was also played in front of limited capacity. The Wimbledon Championships remain on course to also play in front of crowds which begin on 28^th June. The AELTC have not yet confirmed the capacity amount but Debenture ticket holders will be given priority access.
