The U.S. Tennis Associated (USTA) changed its policy on COVID-19 vaccines for the 2021 U.S. Open months after tickets went on sale, previously stating that unvaccinated fans would be allowed to attend the two-week Grand Slam tournament in New York.
Just days before the main draw is set to begin, the USTA announced in a statement that they’ve been informed by the New York mayor’s office that proof-of-vaccination documents will be required to enter Arthur Ashe Stadium, the main arena at the National Tennis Center.
