Tennis fans looking to head down to Wimbledon have been told to stay away as an official statement was released just hours before the first match.

However, on Monday morning, tennis fans looking to head down to SW19 have been warned to stay away.

Taking to their official website, Wimbledon warned fans that 'The Queue' is already 'very busy'.

The Queue is always popular during the opening week as it allows fans to grab show court tickets and ground passes on the day of the event.

Fans often gather in the early hours in order to try and make it in before the matches get underway.

The limited tickets are sold on a best available, one per person queuing basis.

It has been reported that a total of 500 tickets for Centre Court, Court 1 and Court 2 are available for the days that they are in play (Excluding the final four days).

A statement read: "Please be aware that the Queue for Day 1 - Monday 30th June - is very busy and to avoid disappointment we strongly advise you not to travel to the Grounds today.

"Please note there is hot weather forecast for Monday and Tuesday. In both The Queue and the Grounds there may be periods where shade is not available. Please plan appropriately, including bringing water, suncream and a hat. Water refill points are available in the Queue and around the Grounds."

The Queue began at 2pm on Sunday (June 29), 20 hours before the grounds opened for the first day of the tournament.

Who will be in action on Day One at Wimbledon?

Defending men's singles champion Carlos Alcaraz will open Centre Court against Italian veteran Fabio Fognini, with play set to get underway at around 1:30pm.
