June 24, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Like a year ago, Belarusian and Russian tennis players are required to sign neutrality declarations to compete in the Wimbledon tournament, TASS<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wimbledon is one of the four Grand Slam tournaments. It is played on outdoor grass courts in England. This year’s tournament will be played on July 1-14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, Wimbledon’s organizers suspended Russian and Belarusian players over hostilities in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March 2023, the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club (AELTC) said they were willing to let them back as neutrals under certain conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese will prohibit expressions of support for Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine in various forms and prohibit entry by players receiving funding from the Russian and\/or Belarusian states (including sponsorship from companies operated or controlled by the states) in relation to their participation in The Championships,\u201d AELTC said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarusian players agreed to these terms and entered the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
