Wimbledon will accept entries from Russian and Belarusian players for this year’s tournament if they agree to compete as neutral athletes and comply with “appropriate conditions,” organizers announced Friday in a statement.
“If circumstances change materially between now and the commencement of The Championships, we will consider and respond accordingly.” The All England Club said the entry conditions had been “carefully developed” through conversations with the UK government, the Lawn Tennis Association – Britain’s national governing tennis body – and international stakeholders. It added that the decision has the “full support” of the UK government, the LTA, ATP, WTA and ITF.
