The fine imposed on the Lawn Tennis Association by the world governing body for women’s tennis over the exclusion of Russian and Belarusian players has been halved after a successful appeal.
The Women’s Tennis Association and the men’s equivalent body, the Association of Tennis Professionals, accused Wimbledon and the LTA of discriminating against their players and refused to sanction ranking points for Wimbledon in 2022. The LTA excluded Russian and Belarusian players from all its tournaments last year in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
