The organisers of the men’s professional tennis tour, the ATP, have called Wimbledon’s decision to ban players from Russia and Belarus from this year’s Championships, as well as all other grass-court tournaments in Britain this summer, as “unfair”.
In a strong statement, the ATP criticised Wimbledon’s decision, made in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and said it “has the potential to set a damaging precedent for the game”.
