The US Tennis Association announced on Thursday that the US Open will allow 100 percent fan capacity this summer.

This comes one year after spectators were not allowed at the Grand Slam tournament as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The US Open will mark the first Grand Slam tournament to have fans in full capacity since the 2020 Australian Open. That tournament took place in February 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic began to shut down the sports world.

This year's US Open is scheduled to be played at Flushing Meadows in New York from Aug. 30 to Sept. 12.

More than 700,000 people attended the 2019 US Open.
