LONDON : Britain's two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray said on Wednesday the major would never feel like an 'exhibition event' and most people only care who wins after the Grand Slam had its ranking points stripped by the ATP and WTA Tours.
LONDON: Two-time former Wimbledon champion Andy Murray said Wednesday the tournament “will never feel like an exhibition” despite it being stripped of ranking points over the ban on Russian and Belarusian players. The decision by the ATP and WTA to remove the sport’s most prestigious tournament of ranking points has prompted some players to say they may skip Wimbledon, the year’s third Grand Slam.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, a former Australian Open runner-up and world number five, said he "couldn't have asked for a better script" as he bid an emotional goodbye to tennis at Roland Garros on Tuesday. The 37-year-old Tsonga, who announced last month he would retire following the French Open, lost 6-7 (6/8), 7-6 (7/4), 6-2, 7-6 (7/0) in the first round to Casper Ruud. "It was pure madness today. One of the best atmospheres I have seen in my career, and it's my last match," said Tsonga. "I couldn't have asked for something better. I couldn't have asked for a better script, apart from the fact that I could have won."
