Billie Jean King has called for Wimbledon to drop its player ban this summer, just as the Australian Open faces the prospect of an all-Belarus women’s final.
Aryna Sabalenka and Victoria Azarenka will be in opposite semi-finals, a situation that might focus the minds of SW19 officials as they ponder whether to allow those from Belarus and Russia in for 2023.
The suspension saw the tours strip Wimbledon of ranking points, and the expectation is that the All England Club will back down in the coming weeks to head off a repetition.
