Daniil Medvedev shrugged off the possibility of being barred from this year's Wimbledon on Thursday after the status of Russian players at the tournament was called into question by the British government. British sports minister Nigel Huddleston told a parliamentary hearing last week the government could require Medvedev to provide assurances he did not support Russian President Vladimir Putin before being allowed to compete at Wimbledon. The move comes amid Russia's growing sporting isolation on the global stage in the wake of the country's invasion of Ukraine.
