The All England Club has announced that Wimbledon will have capacity crowds from the singles quarter-finals onwards as Covid-19 restrictions on attendances are relaxed, Reuters reports.

Attendances have been capped at 50 per cent since the start of the tournament last Monday although next weekend's finals were to rise to 100pc on the 15,000-capacity Centre Court.

It will mark the first time outdoor stadiums will be at full capacity at a sporting event in Britain since the Covid-19 pandemic shut down sports in the country in March 2020.
