Most sports bodies are still imposing a year-old ban on Russia and its military ally Belarus because of their war in Ukraine — a ban recommended by the IOC citing the security of athletes before shifting its position as Paris nears.

Daniil Medvedev has told Eurosport «I want to play on grass, I want to play Wimbledon» as he looks ahead to the summer and returning to the year's third Grand Slam that he had to miss last season. Like all Russian and Belarusian players, Medvedev was unable to compete at Wimbledon last year due to the tournament’s ban, but he maximised his opportunities on grass at other events outside the UK, making finals in 's-Hertogenbosch and Halle.
