Novak Djokovic has made it clear he wants Wimbledon's ban on Russian players lifted so the likes of Daniil Medvedev can compete at the All England Club in July.
Wimbledon placed a ban on players from Russia and Belarus at SW19 last summer in response to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Organisers were fined with the Grand Slam stripped of its ranking points by the ATP and WTA tours as several elite players in both the men's and women's game were affected.
The All England Club is still yet to announce whether the decision will be reversed or if a fresh ban will be imposed for the 2023 tournament as the conflict in Ukraine continues. But a decision could be made as early as the All England Club's annual press conference this spring, with players such as former world no.1 Medvedev desperate to return to the grass-court Grand Slam later this year.
