The $1m (£825,850) fine imposed by the WTA Tour for the ban on Russians and Belarusians at last summer’s grass court events will be halved if the players from the two nations are allowed to enter this year.
In 2022, the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) and the All England Club (AELTC) banned all entries from the countries following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The WTA fined the organisations $750,000 (£619,485) and $250,000 (£206,495) respectively, and Wimbledon was stripped of its ranking points.
