The US Open will allow Russian and Belarusian players to compete later this year after deciding not to follow Wimbledon’s lead in banning them.

Players from the two nations will have to compete under a neutral flag at the final Grand Slam event of the season.

It means Russian men’s world number one Daniil Medvedev can defend his title in New York.

The United States Tennis Association (USTA) said it “continues to condemn” the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
