At the end of the end after the third match of the opening, an influx of people entered the stadium to take a seat, but many were still left by queuing outside.

Martina Navratilova, who won four of her 18 Grand Chelem titles at the US Open, expressed her sympathy for those who are blocked outside.

“Let’s save a thought for the thousands of people waiting outside in the drizzle – it rains and out – and they paid thousands of dollars for these tickets,” said Navratilova on Sky Sports.

“It is not that it comes, it is the problem, it is that they made only one entry for the whole crowd.”
