Wimbledon has been threatened with court action by the Belarusian Tennis Federation over the "illegal" ban on their players this summer. The All England Club and the LTA have announced all players from Russia and Belarus will not be allowed to play at The Championships following the invasion of Ukraine. The ATP and WTA have branded the decision"discrimination". Now in an extraordinary counterattack, the BTF have accused Britain of "double standards" following "armed conflicts in Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Yugoslavia and other countries" - and warned they were seeking to take legal action.
