Tennis tournaments hosted in Great Britain in the run-up to Wimbledon will go ahead as scheduled with full ranking points on offer despite a ban on Russian and Belarusian players, men's tennis governing body ATP said on Monday.

The players were banned following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which Moscow calls a "special military operation." Belarus has been a key staging area for the invasion.
