Wimbledon chiefs travel to French Open in bid to find compromise in ranking points row

Senior Wimbledon officials will visit the French Open in the hope of reaching a more amicable agreement with the ATP after they stripped the Grand Slam tournament of its points.

This year's London major has become a highly politicised event after the All England Club responded to Russia 's ongoing invasion of Ukraine by banning all Russian and Belarusian athletes. Both the ATP and WTA expressed opposition to that idea and fired back by ensuring no players would earn Tour points at SW19.

The tensions have cleaved a divide in opinion among pundits and players alike, but there may yet be hope of a compromise between the parties. The Daily Mail reported 'options are few' if Wimbledon executives are to at least partially rescue the situation when they travel to Roland Garros this week.
