World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka urged organisers to allow her to bring her beloved pet dog Ash to her matches at Wimbledon. There is a no pets policy at the venue but Sabalenka said it's tough to leave Ash in the room while she heads out for her matches.

"It hurts to leave him [Ash] at home because he really gets attached [to me] a lot and suffers staying alone. So, please, I beg you, let the dogs inside," said Sabalenka.
