Novak Djokovic has thrown his support behind the ATP 's decision to make Wimbledon a non-ranking event despite the fact he's set to lose his world No.1 status as a result.
Both the ATP and WTA recently confirmed players competing at Wimbledon will not accrue ranking points for their respective Tours. That joint decision was made in response to the All England Club 's decision to ban Russian and Belarusian athletes as a result of Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
Djokovic, 35, is the reigning champion at SW19 and will be desperate to defend his title after being prevented from doing so in Australia earlier this year. The top-ranked men's player doesn't agree with Wimbledon's temporary ban on certain nationalities, though he does think the ATP's response is just.
