Fans to be allowed to attend 2020 French Open

Fans will be allowed inside the Roland Garros grounds for the 2020 edition of the French Open amid the COVID-19 crisis. 
The Roland Garros organizers plan to have up to 60 percent of the usual number of fans, for the re-scheduled event which is now set to be held in Paris, on September 27th.

The French Tennis Federation announced on Thursday that around 20,000 spectators are expected during the early stages of the 2-week clay court Grand Slam, and about 10,000 on the day of the final.

Those numbers could change if the French government revises its social distancing rules. That’s while, the US Open in New York is being held without any spectators in attendance, which is from August 31st to September 13th.
