Wimbledon will be a 14-day tournament starting this year, with matches scheduled in the so-called “Middle Sunday”traditionally a rest day, as organizers no longer need a full day to get the slopes in shape due to improved technology.
That day is also known as the “People’s Sunday”because on a few occasions in the past general tickets have been put up for sale when rain delays have caused some matches to be postponed.
“They (Ukrainian refugees) will be joined on ‘Middle Sunday’ by local residents, NHS and social care COVID heroes, and a range of schools, charities and community groups,” the two associations said.
