Wimbledon reportedly plans to withhold credentials from influencers next summer

Wimbledon reportedly does not plan to provide influencers with credentials next summer, in an effort to avoid issues that affected this year’s US Open. Players called on spectators to follow tennis etiquette after matches were interrupted, and one player complained about the smell of marijuana in the stadium.

The reported concerns also involved influencers allegedly receiving media passes and using extensive filming equipment. They were described as potentially getting in fans’ way or creating scenes, although the precise Wimbledon policy—whether it will deny free tickets or block influencers more broadly—was not established.
