Wimbledon will give Ukrainian refugees free tickets to the tournament’s ‘Middle Sunday’ and donate 250 000 pounds ($307,100) to those affected by Russia’s invasion of the country, the organisers of the grasscourt Grand Slam said today.

Following the invasion, Wimbledon banned Russian and Belarusian players from the tournament, resulting in the men’s ATP Tour and women’s WTA Tour taking away its ranking points. Ukrainian refugees in the boroughs of Merton and Wandsworth as well as their sponsors and charity delivery partners will be eligible for tickets, the All England Club and the Lawn Tennis Association said.

“On the eve of The Championships I believe it’s important that we acknowledge those that are suffering so greatly due to the unrelenting conflict imposed upon Ukraine,” LTA chief executive Scott Lloyd said in a statement.
