Why Russian and Belarusian tennis players are allowed back at Wimbledon in 2023
Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer is confident that Russian and Belarusian players will adhere to strict neutrality guidelines, allowing them to participate in this year's Wimbledon tournament. The players from these countries were banned from competing at the All England Club in 2022 following the invasion of Ukraine. However, they have been granted permission to take part in the Championship this year, which commences on Monday, on the condition that they follow specific guidelines outlined by the government.
