The ATP, following a similar action by the WTA, has slapped a $1 million fine on the Lawn Tennis Association, UK's governing body for the sport, for having banned Russian and Belarusian male players from its grass-court events in the summer.
And making clear that the LTA's actions were unacceptable, the ATP has reportedly informed the body that it faces expulsion from the Tour if it repeats the ban imposed this year due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
