Players hit out at Wimbledon punishment over Russia ban as Nick Kyrgios impacted

Certain Wimbledon stars are up in arms upon learning the exact impact they'll face as a result of the tournament being stripped of its rankings points.

Players knew well in advance of this year's Grand Slam at SW19 that they would not receive rankings points regardless of their performance in London. The ATP and WTA announced the change after the All England Club banned Russian and Belarusian players in response to the invasion of Ukraine.

It means world No. 40 Nick Kyrgios will miss out on the 1,200 points he'd usually receive for reaching a major final (or 2,000 points for winning the match). British ace Cameron Norrie also stands to suffer despite losing out to finalist Novak Djokovic in the semis, a feat that would usually reward him with 720 rankings points.
