Elina Svitolina believes players from Russia and Belarus should be allowed to compete at Wimbledon if they denounce Vladimir Putin and the Russian government’s invasion of Ukraine.
Svitolina, the world No. 25 and top-ranked Ukrainian player, has called on tennis authorities to take a tougher stance on players from Russia and Belarus but says she does not want them to be banned completely unless they do not speak out against the invasion.
