Tennis players from Russia and Belarus will not be allowed to play at Wimbledon this year because of the war in Ukraine, the All England Club announced Wednesday.
Wimbledon organisers are reportedly on the verge of banning Russian and Belarusian stars from competing at this year’s Grand Slam.

Iga Świątek will have just 24 hours to bask in the glory of winning Indian Wells before attention turns to the next WTA 1000 event – the Miami Open.
Russia’s world No. 1 Daniil Medvedev said he is unsure whether he will be allowed to continue playing but wants to promote his sport.
