Tennis fans 12 years or older will be required to show proof of a Covid-19 vaccine in order to attend the US Open, tournament officials announced Friday, just three days before the main draw was set to begin.
The New York City mayor’s office on Friday mandated proof of vaccine to enter Arthur Ashe Stadium, where the major puts on its primetime matches, the United States Tennis Association (USTA) said.
The USTA then elected to extend the vaccine requirement to all attendees 12 years old or older at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, regardless of which facilities ticketholders plan to access.
“Any US Open attendee with tickets to Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium, the Grandstand, or the grounds of the US Open, will be required to provide proof of at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine," the USTA said in a written statement.
It was not immediately clear whether the mandate would impact players, as some have expressed reluctance to receive the shot.
World number three Stefanos Tsitsipas said earlier this month he would only get the Covid-19 vaccine if it became mandatory to compete in tennis.
The announcement marked an abrupt change for the US Open, the crown jewel of the American tennis calendar and the year’s final major, which previously said it would rely on unvaccinated fans to wear masks.
The tournament operated without fans in 2020.
