It should probably be safe enough (for us) if they have no crowds.

But it is likely that there will be crowds allowed.

My tip is no crowds at the lead up comps for the open crowds to be just 25% at best and incredibly restrictive and limited too.

They said on the news that spectators will be limited to one of the three arenas. They will have to pick one of Rod Laver, Margaret Court, or the third.

I've attended the Open over the years, but I'll give it a miss this year.

Happy to watch it from home.

Only take a couple of positive covid cases from the tennis players and the AO will be cancelled.

I feel it will be cancelled.
