World No 1 Aryna Sabalenka has begged the All England Club to reverse its ban on players bringing their dogs onto site at Wimbledon.
Although many star names now travel with their pets, the All England Club only permits service dogs and search dogs to enter the grounds, with Wimbledon chief Sally Bolton confirming before the tournament that their rules had been communicated to the players before the start of this year’s Championships. The players were informed that any dogs who were currently travelling Europe would have to stay at home during the tournament.
