The All England Club has made a number of significant financial gestures towards Ukraine’s crisis response funds and Ukrainian tennis players competing in their tournaments, asserting their support for the country in light of their decision to allow Russian and Belarusian players to return as competitors at Wimbledon. The AELTC and the LTA have announced that they will cover the accommodation costs of two rooms for all main draw and qualifying players who compete at any British grass-court event. The AELTC will further donate to Ukraine crisis response organisations, pledging £1 for each ticket holder at the championships, which the AELTC estimates will amount to a donation of more than £500,000.
