Wimbledon had its ranking points stripped by the ATP and WTA Tours on Friday over its decision to exclude players from Russia and Belarus at this year's Championships due to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
On Friday, the AELTC reiterated their stance, adding that they were considering their options and were in discussions with their Grand Slam colleagues.
"We believe these decisions to be disproportionate in the context of the exceptional and extreme circumstances of this situation and the position we found ourselves in, and damaging to all players who compete on Tour." "Discrimination by individual tournaments is simply not viable on a Tour that operates in more than 30 countries.
However, the WTA said its tournaments at Nottingham, Birmingham, and Eastbourne would go ahead with ranking points on offer as "alternative and comparable playing and ranking point opportunities exist in the same weeks".
