Tennis cracks from Russia and Belarus are allowed to play at Wimbledon

1/2
May return to Wimbledon in 2023: Russian Daniil Medvedev.

“Our current intention is to accept entries from Russian and Belarusian players, provided they compete as neutral athletes and meet the appropriate eligibility criteria,” the All England Lawn Tennis Club said in a statement. Not everyone is welcome: those who visibly support the military invasion of Russia or have done so in the past are not eligible to participate.

In 2022, due to the Russian offensive war in Ukraine and the Belarusian role, the athletes of both countries were excluded from the only Grand Slam tournament on grass, which went against the basic course of the ATP and WTA players’ unions. Therefore, no points were awarded for the world ranking at the time. (SDA)
