Owing to this news, the Australian Open 2022 will now witness a full crowd capacity in January. Moreover, the mega Boxing Day test will also be allowing over 90,000 fans inside MCG. “ Because 90% of Victorians have gone and gotten vaccinated, so many of these rules almost all of them can fall away,” said Daniel Andrew, Australian Politician.
