LONDON - Russian and Belarusian players will be able to compete as neutral athletes at Wimbledon after the All England Club reversed its ban from last year.
The players must comply with appropriate conditions, including not expressing support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The Russian and Belarusian states must not receive funding, including sponsorship from companies operated or controlled by the states in relation to their participation in The Championships, the All England Club said in a statement.
Russian and Belarusian players have been allowed to compete as neutral athletes in other tennis tournaments.
The club said that alignment between the Grand Slams is becoming more important in the current tennis environment. There was a strong and very disappointing reaction from some governing bodies in tennis to the position taken by the LTA and the All England Club last year with consequences that would be damaging to the interests of players, fans, The Championships and British tennis. The Wimbledon tournament will start on July 3. The women's final is scheduled for July 15 and the men's final on July 16.
