The Women’s Tennis Association continues its policy of supporting athletes from aggressor countries.
The WTA fined Wimbledon a million dollars for not allowing Russians and Belarusians to the tournament. This was reported by the Daily Mail. The penalty was split between the UK Lawn Tennis Association, which must pay $ 750,000, and the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, which will lose $ 250,000.
Organizations declined to comment on the situation. However, journalists learned that the Wimbledon management had already reported the incident to the British government. Their reaction to the WTA’s position was furious and will now assist organizations in filing an appeal in court.
However, the Lawn Tennis Association of Great Britain and the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club must first pay the designated fine, as resolving the appeal is only possible after that.
It will be recalled that the previous WTA and ATP had stripped Wimbledon of rating points due to the non -entry of Russian and Belarusian athletes in the competition.
