Women’s doubles player Natela Dzalamidze will be able to get around the ban on Russians at Wimbledon this year because she now represents the country of Georgia.
Dzalamidze, a 29-year-old who is currently 44th in the doubles rankings, is listed as being from Georgia on the WTA Tour website - and in Wimbledon’s entry list for the tournament, which begins June 27. Dzalamidze will play with partner Aleksandra Krunic of Serbia.
The All England Club said in April it would not allow players from Russia or Belarus to compete at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament this year.
