Russia and Ukraine are in war, and tennis is in war with… tennis. Different organizations that run the sport have had conflicting views on whether Russian and Belarusian players should be eligible to compete at tournaments and the latest outcome of the conflict is the Lawn Tennis Association being fined £820,000 ($1 million) by the ATP.
As you know, this summer, the Lawn Tennis Association and the All England Lawn Tennis Club banned Russian and Belarusian players from entering Wimbledon, as well as the warm-up tournaments on British grass.
