LTA bans fans from Queen’s qualifying

British tennis bosses on Friday shut out fans from qualifying rounds at the Queen’s club event, with no reason given.

Puzzled officials at the upmarket members-only club were left to handle the fallout after the Lawn Tennis Association made the oddball call.

“(The tournament) is fully owned and operated by the @the_LTA with Queen’s being the host venue. 

“The LTA has advised that there will be no public access for Qualifying Weekend this year,” a statement read.

Speculation online ranged from pure spite to budgetary concerns in an economy suffering a longtime cost of living crisis and a weakening fiscal

position.
