Wimbledon 2021: Crowds, tickets, tennis - what can we expect?

Wimbledon is back next week with its reassuringly familiar lush green courts, top players and of course, its strawberries and cream - but things have changed since its last staging in 2019.

How big will the crowds be & what about Henman Hill?

The championships are part of the government's Event Research Programme, which means they will operate at 50% capacity across the grounds, building to full capacity crowds of 15,000 on Centre Court for the finals weekend.

Under the scheme, fans must show proof of vaccination, a negative lateral flow test or evidence of antibodies from having the virus in the past six months to gain entry.
