Wimbledon organizers will allow for unvaccinated players to compete in this year’s upcoming tournament, All England Lawns Tennis Club CEO Sally Bolton announced during a media briefing on Tuesday.

“As you will be aware, the requirement set up by government to enter the U.K. do not include mandatory vaccination,” Bolton said. “Therefore, whilst, of course, it is encouraged, it will not be a condition of entry to compete.”
