The USTA announced on Tuesday that unlike Wimbledon, tennis players from Russia and Belarus will be allowed to compete at the US Open in late August.
In a statement released by the USTA, which owns and operates the US Open, the association renewed its condemnation of Russian president Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, but said that Russian and Belarusian players will be allowed to compete under a neutral flag.
“We recognize that each organization has had to deal with unique circumstances that affect their decisions," the statement said. "Based on our own circumstances, the USTA will allow all eligible players, regardless of nationality, to compete at the 2022 US Open.
