The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) has responded after its grand slam Wimbledon was stripped of ranking points by the women’s and men’s WTA and ATP tours, and also revealed that it is “considering our options”.
The tours made their announcements on Friday night one after the other, with the ATP going first, and stated a belief that punishing Russian players with a ban from SW19 this summer as a response to Russia’s military operation in Ukraine was discriminatory and went against their core principals.
Shortly after the ATP and WTA made their announcements, the AELTC released its own correspondence first saying it “appreciated that opinions differ in relation to our decision to decline entries from Russian and Belarussian players” and that it deeply regretted “the impact of this decision on the individuals affected”.
