Tennis pundits Tim Henman and John McEnroe were involved in an on-air TV row over the controversy that continues to engulf the 2022 Wimbledon Championships.
The saga kicked off last month when tournament bosses announced that Russian and Belarusian players would be banned from competing at SW19 this summer, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It prompted a furious backlash from authorities and players alike, with Novak Djokovic one notable vociferous critic of the All England Tennis Club.
This week, the ATP and WTA reacted by stripping the iconic tournament of its ranking points. The sanction has now led to fears of a boycott, with Naomi Osaka stating she will struggle for motivation in what was now an 'exhibition' event.
