The Lawn Tennis Association has been fined £820,000 by the ATP for banning Russian and Belarusian male players from this summer’s grass-court events.
The ban was imposed in reaction to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“The LTA is deeply disappointed with this,” read a statement from the LTA.
The punishment follows six-figure fines for the LTA and the All England Lawn Tennis Club, who organise Wimbledon, from the WTA for excluding female Russian and Belarusian players.
