🎾 Russian players will be required to sign a declaration of neutrality and there will be ‘zero tolerance’ of any support for the invasion of Ukraine jamesgraysport reports

“We continue to condemn totally Russia’s illegal invasion and our wholehearted support remains with the people of Ukraine,” Ian Hewitt, chairman of the All England Club , said.

“It is our view that, considering all factors, these are the most appropriate arrangements for The Championships for this year. We are thankful for the Government’s support as we and our fellow tennis stakeholder bodies have navigated this complex matter and agreed on conditions we believe are workable.

, but that they have worked together with the UK Government and other tennis bodies to write the declaration and create “workable measures for their implementation”. The neutrality declarations will be enforced by the tours at each event, except Wimbledon, where they themselves will do so.

“Welfare obviously is a very important consideration for us. It was last year and it continues to be this year. Therefore, the agreement with the tours is particularly important in this respect.
