"Can't Leave Grass": Barred From Wimbledon, World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev's Cheeky Post Goes Viral

The Wimbledon authorities' decision to bar Russian and Belarussian played from this year's event has meant that Daniil Medvedev has got a lot of free time. The world No. 1 men's singles player hails from Russia and is not playing this year's Wimbledon due to the ban. The All England Lawn Tennis Club, which runs Wimbledon, said they were acting to "limit Russia's global influence through the strongest means possible". Medvedev and Belarusian female world number six Aryna Sabalenka are the leading players affected by the ban.
