Russian and Belarusian players will be allowed to compete at the 2022 US Open, the US Tennis Association (USTA) announced on Tuesday, despite Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
The USTA's decision comes after Wimbledon became the first elite tennis event to ban Russian and Belarusian athletes. The men's ATP and women's WTA Tours later stripped the grand slam of its ranking points in response to the move.
Instead of following Wimbledon's lead, the US Open will adopt the approach used by the ATP and the WTA since the invasion where Russian and Belarusian players compete under a neutral flag.
