I cannot support the banning of individual athletes from any tournament, simply because of their nationality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTennis is stronger when we stand together, and our continued support of the Tennis Plays for Peace initiative, which provides meaningful financial support and resources to Ukraine, needs to be our focus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ATP and WTA criticised the AELTC\u2019s decision, while Martina Navratilova and Novak Djokovic have also voiced their opposition.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement published on Thursday, the Belarusian Tennis Federation (BTF) said it was seeking legal advice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Belarusian Tennis Federation categorically condemns the decision taken by the organisers of Wimbledon to suspend Belarusian and Russian tennis players.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuch destructive actions in no way contribute to the resolution of conflicts, but only incite hatred and intolerance on a national basis,\u201d read the release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThroughout the history of tennis, armed conflicts have occurred in the world \u2014- in Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Yugoslavia and other countries \u2014- but not until now have tournament organisers suspended athletes from the U.S., Great Britain and other countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIllegal decisions of international tennis organisations in relation to our athletes undermines the reputation of these organisations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsultations of the BTF leadership with international law firms on Sports law are ongoing and a strategy is being developed that is aimed at protecting Belarusian tennis players around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billie Jean King has spoken out against the ban on Russian and Belarusian players imposed at Wimbledon this year as a result of the war in Ukraine.
