Tennis Majors: Russians receiving state funding will not be allowed to Wimbledon 2023
The conditions for the admission of Russian and Belarusian tennis players to Wimbledon 2023 have become known. It is reported by Tennis Majors.
Athletes will be prohibited from expressing support for the CWO. In addition, a zero-tolerance approach to any flags and symbols in support of Russia and Belarus will be applied in sports arenas by both players and fans.
It is clarified that tennis players receiving state funding will not be able to take part in the competition. This includes, among other things, sponsorship from companies controlled by the authorities of Russia and Belarus.
On March 31, the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) announced that it would allow Russian and Belarusian tennis players to compete at Wimbledon in 2023. The organization noted that they still consider the suspension of athletes the right decision, but this year they are not ready to maintain the ban due to the threat of sanctions.
In the spring of 2022, Russian tennis players were refused admission to tournaments in the UK. In other ATP and WTA competitions, the Russians play in a neutral status.
