It's certainly not a 'woke' decision though, like Jordan Thompson described it today. Does seem a bit odd they are allowing it.
It is a fantastic move and long overdue. I've been attending since the AO since 1996 and have long thought there should be some movement allowed into the seating area on courts after every game. Sometimes two games can take over twenty minutes and if lines are long enough to get back in, it can take two changeovers to return to your seat.
