The French Open will allow up to 20,000 people to attend each day of this year's tournament despite the coronavirus pandemic, organisers have announced.

The French Tennis Federation (FFT) also said that up to 10,000 people would be able to watch the finals and that it may increase the capacity should the situation with Covid-19 continue to improve in France.

“The number of spectators allowed inside the stadium will be 50 per cent to 60pc of its usual capacity, allowing us to ensure the barrier measures are respected,” the FFT said in a statement.
