Russian and Belarusian players fear they could miss Wimbledon due to delay in the UK issuing visas.
The All England club opted to ban players from both countries last year, meaning leading lights like Daniil Medvedev and Aryna Sabalenka were forced to miss the tournament, following the invasion of Ukraine.
Authorities have now changed their stance after hefty fine, provided players from the two nations compete at Wimbledon under neutral flags and don't make any “supportive comments” regarding the war of the two regimes. Nineteen players from Russia and Belarus will enter the main draw, but world No 2 Sabalenka has revealed that her visa hasn't been approved.
