Russian and Belarusian players fear they could miss Wimbledon because they are still waiting for UK visas.
The All England Club banned them from competing last year following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which was supported by Belarus.
They can compete this year but must sign declarations indicating their neutrality.
The Home Office said applicants have to undergo “thorough checks” before permission to enter the UK is granted.
Wimbledon takes place in London from 3-16 July.
Sixteen-year-old Russian Mirra Andreeva, who had impressive runs at the Madrid Open and the French Open, said she is still waiting to see if she can play at the tournament.

Russian world number 11 Karen Khachanov said “it takes [a] much longer time to issue the documents”, but added he already had a valid visa from previous years.

Belarusian women’s world number two Aryna Sabalenka, who again did not do an open news conference after reaching the French Open quarter-finals, said in May she had not yet had her visa approved.
Russian player Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, who is through to the last eight at Roland Garros, is set to miss the tournament as her…
