The organisers of Wimbledon have announced a ban on players from Russia and Belarus from competing at this year’s tournament, as well as all other events organised by the Lawn Tennis Association in Britain this summer.
The decision comes in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Belarus’ support of the war and means leading players such as the men’s No. 2 Daniil Medvedev and women’s No. 4 Aryna Sabalenka will be unable to enter.
