The WTA fined the organizers of the British tournaments a substantial amount for the removal of athletes from the aggressor coun

London hosts the only Wimbledon Grand Slam grass tournament of the season, to which the athletes of the aggressor countries were not allowed.

Earlier, the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) deprived the tournament of rating points for these actions.. Now it became known that the association also imposed a $1 million fine on the tournament..

Daily Mail reports..

The UK Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) must pay a $750,000 fine and the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club $250,000..

At the same time, organizations supported by the British authorities intend to appeal.

However, the problem is that the resolution of the appeal is possible only after the fines have been paid.. Thus, organizations will first have to pay, after which they can challenge the imposition of fines.

Recall that the All England Club together with the Lawn Tennis Association on behalf of Wimbledon donated a significant amount of money to Ukrainian refugees.
