Start of Wimbledon Championship and Ban on Russian & Belarusian Players

The organizers of the event banned the participation of Russian and Belarusian players as a consequence of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. In April, The All England club said that all Russian and Belarusian players would not be allowed to participate in the tournament. Some Prominent Players Including defending champion Novack Djokovic criticize Wimbledon’s Organizers for their unfair treatment of the Russian and Belarussian players. 

The women’s WTA and men’s ATP also criticize this action of the Organizers while depriving the grasscourt Grand Slam of the ranking points as a result of the ban on the players. Making this event an exhibition of players’ capabilities, as there are no ranking points for winning.

With its prestige and traditions, from grasscourt to Royal Box, all-white clothing to strawberries, it remains the Wimbledon. And millions of dollars in prize money is enough to entice all the eligible players to showcase their potential even though there is no ranking. It remains seeing how all these episodes will affect the relationship of various establishments in the way tennis run.
