The British will challenge this decision in court
WTA fined Wimbledon due to the suspension of Russian and Belarusian players. The amount of claims – more than 800 thousand pounds.
The All England Tennis Club (AELTC) was fined £207,000 and the British Federation (LTA) three times as much, £620,000. Both organizations will contest the decision, but payments must be made in full before any hearings begin.
“We remain true to our decision [об отстранении игроков]We are deeply disappointed with the Tours’ response to this decision and I’m afraid I probably can’t say more about it at this time,” AELTC Executive Director Sally Bolton said in a statement.
Recall that after the start of a full-scale invasion, the ATP and WTA – the organizers of the men’s and women’s professional tennis tours – banned Russian and Belarusian athletes from participating in their tournaments under the flags of the aggressor countries.
Wimbledon this year did not allow the Russians and Belarusians to his tournament. In response to the decision of the organizers, the ATP, WTA and ITF stripped the third Slam of the season of ranking points.
